STRONG STABILITY PRESERVING RUNGE-KUT...

“A better model of serious mathematical work written in a warm, reader-friendly style would be very hard to find. A privilege to review, this book has much to offer all numerical analysts, scientists requiring such techniques, and specialists in its field, in addition to making a branch of mathematics more accessible to the wider scientific community. A quality advertisement for mathematics, it can but enhance the status of mathematicians today. This is much more than a mathematical cookbook; it is a state-of-the-art classic in an emerging field.”

“This book provides a very detailed, well written and easily readable study of a class of numerical methods for the solution of ordinary differential equations, the so-called strong stability preserving methods. Special emphasis is placed on the very important question of finding the maximal step size of such methods that can be chosen without destroying the strong stability. Numerous concrete examples of practically important formulas are listed explicitly.”
