SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 7, No. 1 (Mar., 1970), pp. 47-66 (20 pages) Linear one step methods of a novel design are given for the numerical solution of stiff systems of ordinary ...

The boundary element method (BEM) provides a robust framework for solving linear partial differential equations by transforming the problem domain into integrals over its boundary. This technique is ...

Optical systems employ a rich array of physical effects which are described by well-understood equations. However, for all but the simplest devices these equations are typically too complex to permit ...
