In this paper, we present a class of explicit numerical methods for stiff Itô stochastic differential equations (SDEs). These methods are as simple to program and to use as the well-known Euler-Maruyama method, but much more efficient for stiff SDEs. For such problems, it is well known that standard explicit methods face step-size reduction. While semi-implicit methods can avoid these problems ...

In this paper we introduce a new class of explicit one-step methods of order 2 that can be used for solving stiff problems. This class constitutes a generalization of the two-stage explicit Runge-Kutta methods, with the property of having an A-stability region that varies during the integration in accordance with the accuracy requirements. Some numerical experiments on classical stiff problems ...

A detailed account of the stability and accuracy properties of the SBP-SAT technique for numerical time integration is presented. We show how the technique can be used to formulate both global and multi-stage methods with high order of accuracy for both stiff and non-stiff problems. Linear and nonlinear stability results, including A-stability, L-stability and B-stability are proven using the e...

I present a numerical solution of linear and nonlinear stiff problems using the RK-Butcher algorithm. The obtained discrete solutions using the RK-Butcher algorithm are found to be very accurate and are compared with the exact solutions of the linear and nonlinear stiff problems and also with the Runge-Kuttamethod based on arithmeticmean (RKAM). A topic of stability for the RK-Butcher algorithm...

A new block extended backward differentiation formula suitable for the integration of stiff initial value problems is derived. The procedure used involves the use of an extra future point which helps in improving the performance of an existing block backward differentiation formula. The method approximates the solution at 3 points simultaneously at each step. Accuracy and stability properties o...

Despite the popularity of high-order explicit Runge–Kutta (ERK) methods for integrating semi-discrete systems of equations, ERK methods suffer from severe stability-based time step restrictions for very stiff problems. We implement a discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DGFEM) along with recently introduced high-order implicit–explicit Runge–Kutta (IMEX-RK) schemes to overcome geometry...

This paper reviews various aspects of stiffness in the numerical solution of initial-value problems for systems of ordinary differential equations. In the literature on numerical methods for solving initial value problems the term "stiff" has been used by various authors with quite different meanings, which often causes confusion. This paper attempts to clear up this confusion by reviewing some...
