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])are called (*) “stiff.” A lowercase h (-5[1])denotes this value, which is raised to the n-th power in the global error of an n-th order method. As this value asymptotically approaches zero, Euler's method gets closer and closer to giving the exact answer. For 10 points, (10[1])give this name for the range in the independent variable over which numerical integration is calculated. ■END■ (0[1])
