The composed-weights criterion for antisymmetric order #

The master reduction turning the antisymmetric-order conditions of a Runge–Kutta scheme (arXiv:2507.21006, Section 8) into finite tableau arithmetic: a scheme has antisymmetric order at least m iff the elementary weights of the composed tableaux rk ∘ rk and rk* ∘ rk agree on all planar trees of order at most m.

We also record the classification of rooted trees of order at most two, used to turn the order-two conditions into the two weight identities Σ b = 1 and Σ b c = 1/2.

The unique tree of order one is the one-node tree.

The composed-weights criterion for antisymmetric order: by the SC ⟺ EC theorem, a Runge–Kutta method has antisymmetric order at least m iff the elementary weights of the two composed tableaux rk ∘ rk and rk* ∘ rk agree on all planar trees of order at most m — no coproducts or antipodes required (arXiv:2507.21006, Section 8).
