A note on unconditionally stable linear multistep methods

Olof B. Widlund

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

It has been shown by Dahlquist [3] that the trapezoidal formula has the smallest truncation error among all linear multistep methods with a certain stability property. It is the purpose of this note to show that a slightly different stability requirement permits methods of higher accuracy.
