| Sumario: | [EN] In this work we show how to numerically integrate nonautonomous differential equations by solving alternate time-averaged differential equations. Given a quadrature rule of order 2s or higher for s = 1, 2, . . . , we show how to build a differential equation with an averaged vector field that is a polynomial function of degree s - 1 in the independent variable, t, and whose solution after one time step agrees with the solution of the original differential equation up to order 2s. Then, any numerical scheme can be used to solve this alternate averaged equation where the vector field is always evaluated at the chosen quadrature rule. We show how to use the Magnus series expansion, adapted to nonlinear problems, to build the formal solution, and this result is valid for any choice of the quadrature rule. This formal solution can be used to build new schemes that must agree with it up to the desired order. For example, we show how to build commutator-free methods from previous results in the literature. All methods can also be written in terms of moment integrals, and each integral can be computed using different quadrature rules. This procedure allows us to build tailored methods for different classes of problems. We illustrate the time-averaged procedure and its efficiency in solving several problems. |
