In this paper, event location techniques for a differential system the solution of which is directed towards a manifold \(\varSigma \) defined as the 0-set of a smooth function \(h: \varSigma =\{x\in \mathbb {R}^n\,:\, h(x)=0 \}\) are considered. It is assumed that the exact solution trajectory hits \(\varSigma \) non-tangentially, and numerical techniques guaranteeing that the trajectory approaches \(\varSigma \) from one side only (i.e., does not cross it) are studied. Methods based on Runge Kutta schemes which arrive to \(\varSigma \) in a finite number of steps are proposed. The main motivation of this paper comes from integration of discontinuous differential systems of Filippov type, where location of events is of paramount importance.
