An extension of Milne's device for the Adams predictor-corrector methods (Q1174057)

The purposes of this paper are to obtain an accurate method for estimating local truncation errors of the Adams-Bashforth-Moulton method of order \(p\) (\(p=2,3,4,5\)) and, as an application, to obtain a method for estimating global truncation errors by using the estimated local truncation errors, in the mode of correcting to convergence, in the \(P(EC)^ mE\) and the \(P(EC)^ m\) modes. These errors of the estimated local truncation errors affect the estimates of the global truncation errors. Four numerical examples are given along with graphs.
