Abstract: In this paper, we present error estimates of the integral deferred correction method constructed with stiffly accurate implicit Runge-Kutta methods with a nonsingular matrix A in its Butcher table representation, when applied to stiff problems characterized by a small positive parameter varepsilon. In our error estimates, we expand the global error in powers of varepsilon and show that the coefficients are global errors of the integral deferred correction method applied to a sequence of differential algebraic systems. A study of these errors and of the remainder of the expansion yields sharp error bounds for the stiff problem. Numerical results for the van der Pol equation are presented {to} illustrate our theoretical findings. Finally, we study the linear stability properties of these methods.


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.
