An algorithm based on the fifth-order Runge–Kutta (RK5) method was used to compute the five stability regions in a quadrupole ion trap (Paul trap). Except for the first region, the calculations were made for the positive values of a in the a–q plane. Computation of these regions for a Paul trap has been carried out for the first time using the fifth-order Runge–Kutta method.
