An important characterization of a numerical method for first order ODE's is the region of absolute stability. If all eigenvalues of the linear problem y' = Ay are inside this region, the numerical ...
SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 7, No. 1 (Mar., 1970), pp. 47-66 (20 pages) Linear one step methods of a novel design are given for the numerical solution of stiff systems of ordinary ...
Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are also called initial value problems because a time zero value for each first-order differential equation is needed. The following is an example of a ...
First-order systems are those which can be described by first-order differential equations. A common example is the RC circuit. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to ...
