摘要:
We discuss error propagation for general linear methods for ordinary differential equations up to terms of order p + 2, where p is the order of the method. These results are then applied to the estimation of local discretization errors for methods of order p and for the adjacent order p + 1. The results of numerical experiments confirm the reliability of these estimates. This research has applications in the design of robust stepsize and order changing strategies for algorithms based on general linear methods. (c) 2007 Published by Elsevier Inc.
