Abstract

Understanding the behavior of Runge-Kutta codes when stability considerations restrict the stepsize provides useful information for stiffness detection and other implementation details. Analysis of equilibrium states on test problems is presented which provides predictions and insights into this behavior. The implications for global error are also discussed.
