2. High-order digital integrators
Numerical methods such as the trapezoidal rule, the midpoint rule and, above all, the implicit Euler method (see § 1.4 ) are certainly suitable for solving steep problems, but their major drawback is their lack of precision. In practice, we need higher-order methods which, however, remain effective for steep problems. We will discuss implicit Runge-Kutta...
