The numerical solution of stiff differential equations

numerical solution of stiff systems of differential equations arising from chemical reactions

long time integration of large stiff systems of initial value problems, arising from chemical reactions, demands efficient methods with good accuracy and extensive absolute stability region. in this paper, we apply second derivative general linear methods to solve some stiff chemical problems such as chemical akzo nobel problem, hires problem and orego problem.

A hybrid method with optimal stability properties for the numerical solution of stiff differential systems

In this paper, we consider the construction of a new class of numerical methods based on the backward differentiation formulas (BDFs) that be equipped by including two off--step points. We represent these methods from general linear methods (GLMs) point of view which provides an easy process to improve their stability properties and implementation in a variable stepsize mode. These superioritie...

Application of the block backward differential formula for numerical solution of Volterra integro-differential equations

In this paper, we consider an implicit block backward differentiation formula (BBDF) for solving Volterra Integro-Differential Equations (VIDEs). The approach given in this paper leads to numerical methods for solving VIDEs which avoid the need for special starting procedures. Convergence order and linear stability properties of the methods are analyzed. Also, methods with extensive stability r...

The Numerical Solution of Boundary Value Problems for Stiff Differential Equations

The numerical solution of boundary value problems for certain stiff ordinary differential equations is studied. The methods developed use singular perturbation theory to construct approximate numerical solutions which are valid asymptotically; hence, they have the desirable feature of becoming more accurate as the equations become stiffer. Several numerical examples are presented which demonstr...
