Forty‐five years of A‐stability

Abstract: Abstract:We discuss two events with profound implications on the way initial value problems are solved numerically. The first was the identification of stiffness as a widely spread phenomenon affecting the ability to obtain useful results. The second was the definition of A-stability as an important approach to overcoming the effect of stiffness. Not only was the idea associated with A-stability significant in its own time but it has had long term effects including new theoretical questions as well as the tool… Show more

“…Furthermore, an explicit LMM cannot be A stable (see [20]). The weakening of this property leads to the following definition (see [20]). Unfortunately for LMM, the A-stable methods cannot have an order greater than 2, as stated in [20].…”

“…The region of absolute stability is the set of points hλ for which the method produces a solution that never increases in magnitude, i.e., y n+1 ≤ y n (see [20]). The chosen step size h should lie within the region of absolute stability of the numerical method.…”

“…If constant |L| increases as presented in [7] the system (10) becomes "stiff" -explicit numerical methods require smaller integration step size for preserving the stability of computation. It is better to use implicit numerical methods for bigger constant |L| .…”
