GRID-INDEPENDENT CONSTRUCTION OF MULTISTEP METHODS

Arévalo, Carmen LU and Söderlind, Gustaf LU (2017) In Journal of Computational Mathematics 35. p.672-692
Abstract
A new polynomial formulation of variable step size linear multistep methods is presented, where each k-step method is characterized by a fixed set of k-1 or k parameters. This construction includes all methods of maximal order (p=k for stiff, and p=k+1 for nonstiff problems). Supporting time step adaptivity by construction, the new formulation is not based on extending classical fixed step size methods; instead classical methods are obtained as fixed step size restrictions within a unified framework. The methods are implemented in Matlab, with local error estimation and a wide range of step size controllers. This provides a platform for investigating and comparing different multistep method in realistic operational conditions.... (More)
