Fatunla, Simeon Ola Recent advances in stiff ODE solvers. (English) Zbl 0707.65044 Computational mathematics II, Proc. 2nd Int. Conf. Numer. Anal. Appl., Benin City/Niger. 1986, Conf. Ser., Boole Press 11, 21-32 (1987). [For the entire collection see Zbl 0655.00016.] This paper presents a brief survey of some of the codes and underlying methods and techniques developed for solving stiff ordinary differential equations. Topics covered include BDF methods (Gear, Hindmarsh), extrapolation processes (Lindberg, Bader and Deuflhard), the Enright- Hessenberg technique, second derivative methods (Enright, Addison), diagonally implicit Runge-Kutta methods (Alexander, Nørsett) and singly implicit methods (the reviewer).
