Parallel iterated methods based on variable step-size multistep Runge-Kutta methods of Radau type for stiff problems (Q1569747)

A variable step-size multistep Runge-Kutta method is introduced as the underlying formula for parallel iterated methods. The order and the stability of the proposed method is discussed. The numerical tests show that the new method improve substantially the performance of the multistep Runge-Kutta methods in a parallel iterated implementation, and also that it is competitive with parallel iterated Runge-Kutta methods.
