High order extended boundary value methods for the solution of stiff systems of ODEs

A class of high order extended boundary value methods (HEBVMs) suitable for the numerical approximation of stiff systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is constructed. This class of BVMs is based on the second derivative class of linear multistep formulas (LMF) and it provides a set of very highly stable methods that can produce considerably accurate solutions to stiff systems whose Jacobians have some large eigenvalues lying close to...
