Digital simulation

Abstract

The main purpose of this chapter is to review some basic aspect of numerical integration of differential equations. Implicit and explicit as well as single and multistep algorithms have been considered. References [1-3] are used for this paragraph. References [1,2] are very well-known texts about numerical integration of differential equations and can be used for a deep understanding of the math behind what is presented in this chapter, Ref. [3] is a simulation textbook that - in the first chapter - offers a very well done and comprehensive review of integration methods applied to simulation of continuous system.
