We focus on an efficient family of such pairs, which were studied extensively in previous decades. This family comes with 5 coefficients that one is able to select arbitrarily. We set, as a fitness function, a certain measure, which is evaluated after running the pair in a couple of relevant problems. Thus, we may adjust the coefficients of the pair, minimizing this fitness function using the differential evolution technique. We conclude with a method (i.e. a Runge-Kutta pair) which outperforms other pairs of the same two orders in a variety of scalar autonomous problems. ER -
