Stability properties of a predictor-corrector implementation of an implicit linear multistep method

Scott Sarra and Clyde Meador

Vol. 4 (2011), No. 1, 43–51
Abstract

We examine the stability properties of a predictor-corrector implementation of a class of implicit linear multistep methods. The method has recently been described in the literature as suitable for the efficient integration of stiff systems and as having stability regions similar to well known implicit methods. A more detailed analysis reveals that this is not the case.
