Abstract
Some modified Runge-Kutta Fehlberg methods are developed. It should be noted that these methods are produced using the Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method with algebraic order five and six. The numerical results indicate that these new methods are more efficient than other Runge-Kutta methods for the numerical solution of differential equations with periodical solution.
