Error estimates of the integral deferred correction method for stiff problems (Q2820346)

The article is concerned with deferred correction methods constructed with stiffly accurate Runge-Kutta schemes for singularly perturbed initial value problems. The deferred correction scheme is based on an integral formulation of the respective error equations, taking advantage of ``good'' quadrature rules. The main contribution of the paper is a convergence and stability analysis of these methods, mainly based on an asymptotic expansion in powers of the perturbation parameter. Numerical experiments for the van der Pol equation illustrate the results.
