Solving Differential Equations By First-Order Explicit Integration

Abstract

A first-order explicit integration technique can be an economical means of solving differential equations numerically. It is easy to implement and requires less computation time than Runge-Kutta integration for stiff equations. Error estimates can be derived and the method converges if the coefficient function is always positive and if it and the forcing function exist every where.
