In this talk, we will discuss how linear multistep methods and classical extrapolation can be combined to obtain new classes of efficient time-integration methods.

Overview

Systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) frequently arise from spatial semi-discretizations of partial differential equations. To solve these ODEs numerically, one typically employs Runge-Kutta (RK) or linear multistep methods (LMMs) as time integrators. Extrapolation is a versatile tool with numerous applications; in the present context, we will view it as a technique to accelerate convergence. RK methods coupled with extrapolation have already been considered in the literature. In this talk, we will systematically investigate the convergence and stability properties of combinations of LMMs and global (passive) or local (active) extrapolation.
