Abstract
In this paper we compare several Runge-Kutta type methods of fourth-order when they are applied in the Equatorial Magnetic-Binary Problem (EMBP) for which the analytical solutions are not known. The results of the comparison are presented with tables and diagrams, and the most efficient method is proposed according to the used criteria which are described.
