Think globally, act locally: Solving highly-oscillatory ordinary differential equations (Q1862012)

In a number of applications we are faced with the problem of finding a numerical solution of an ordinary differential equation whose exact solution is strongly oscillatory. For problems of this type, the author first discusses the issue of error propagation. Special attention is paid to Runge-Kutta and Magnus methods. As a result of the analysis, a modified Magnus method is constructed that exhibits a very good performance.
