Bemerkungen zur numerischen Integration gewöhnlicher Differentialgleichungen n-ter Ordnung

The author reports on the results of an investigation concerning the accuracy of the so called Kutta-Zurmuhl formula [2] for numerical integration of ordinaryn-th order differential equations. If one integrates with step-lengthh over a fixed interval, the error of this formula is ∼h4 (for smallh), irrespective ofn (and not ∼hn+2 as it has been claimed).
