Abstract
We survey recent theoretical work on four types of integration methods for ordinary differential equations: multistep-, one-leg-, Runge-Kutta-, and extrapolation methods. Rigorous stability results and error bounds were obtained for such methods as applied to the linear test equation with constant or variable coefficient and/or certain classes of nonlinear systems, notably dissipative (monotone negative) ones. Investigations were carried out both for constant and variable steps.
