Abstract:
A control-theoretic approach is used to design a new automatic stepsize control algorithm for the numerical integration of ODE's. The new control algorithm is more robust at little extra expense. Its improved performance is particularly evident when the stepsize is limited by numerical stability. Comparative numerical tests are presented.
