      A new implicit algorithm is developed for solving the time-dependent, nonideal magnetohydrodynamic equations. It can also be used as an efficient relaxation scheme for steady state solutions. The algorithm is a finite volume scheme that uses an approximate Riemann solver for the hyperbolic fluxes and central differencing applied on nested control volumes for the parabolic fluxes that arise from the non-ideal terms (i.e., resistivity and viscosity). Results from several test cases are presented that show good agreement with analytical solutions and illustrate the advantages of the scheme.
