Gaf. Ismail et Ih. Ibrahim, A NEW HIGHER-ORDER EFFECTIVE P-C METHODS FOR STIFF SYSTEMS, Mathematics and computers in simulation, 47(6), 1998, pp. 541-552
In this paper a special class of k-step methods of order k + 1 with tw
o free parameters up to order 9 are established. The stability analysi
s of the P-C scheme is investigated. The coefficients of our class and
the values of the parameters for getting A(0)-stable schemes are tabu
lated. The relation between the parameters for obtaining L(alpha)-stab
le formula is determined. A comparison between the stability region an
d the error estimation for the fourth-order of our scheme and Cash's s
cheme is carried on. (C) 1998 IMACS/Elsevier Science B.V.
