This value is often multiplied by a “chicken factor” in a method developed by Erwin Fehlberg. A “velocity” parameter multiplies a ratio of two examples of these values to define the Courant number. Time goes to infinity while this value is fixed when evaluating systems for A-stability. A limit as this value approaches zero can be computed by Richardson extrapolation. Equations whose solutions are unstable, except when this value is extremely small, (15[1]-5[1])are called (*) “stiff.” (10[1])A lowercase h (-5[1])denotes this value, which is raised (10[1])to the n-th power (10[2])in the global error of an n-th (-5[1])order method. (10[1])As this value (10[2])asymptotically (-5[1])approaches zero, Euler's method gets closer and closer (10[2])to giving the exact (10[1])answer. (-5[1])For 10 points, (10[2])give this name for the range in the independent variable (10[1])over which numerical integration is calculated. ■END■ (10[3]0[3])
