A Quantitative Comparison of Numerical Method for Solving Stiff Ordinary Differential Equations

We derive a variable step of the implicit block methods based on the backward differentiation formulae (BDF) for solving stiff initial value problems (IVPs). A simplified strategy in controlling the step size is proposed with the aim of optimizing the performance in terms of precision and computatio...
