Extended Stability Runge-Kutta (ESRK) methods are essential for large-scale computational problems in various fields but optimizing them for efficiency and low storage is challenging.
A hybrid Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach is proposed to automate heuristic discovery for optimizing low-storage ESRK methods.
The new approach combines GA-driven mutations for search-space exploration and an RL-inspired state transition mechanism for heuristic selection, leading to a 25% reduction in runtime while maintaining stability and accuracy.
The study validates the proposed heuristic optimisation framework on benchmark problems, showcasing its potential to improve resource efficiency in high-fidelity simulations using low-storage Runge-Kutta methods.
