Implementing Adams methods with preassigned stepsize ratios
Summary: Runge-Kutta and Adams methods are the most popular codes to solve numerically nonstiff ODEs. The Adams methods are useful to reduce the number of function calls, but they usually require more CPU time than the Runge-Kutta methods. In this work we develop a numerical study of a variable step length Adams implementation, which can only take preassigned step-size ratios. Our aim is the reduction of the CPU time of the code by means of the precalculation of some coefficients. We present several numerical tests that show the behaviour of the proposed implementation.
