✦ Synopsis

In the context of multiscale computations, techniques have recently been developed that enable microscopic simulators to perform macroscopic level tasks (equation-free multiscale computations). The main tool is the so-called coarse-grained time-stepper, which implements an approximation of the unavailable macroscopic time-stepper using only the microscopic simulator. Several schemes were developed to accelerate the coarse-grained time-stepper, exploiting the smoothness in time of the macroscopic dynamics. To date, mainly the stability of these methods was analyzed. In this paper, we focus on their accuracy properties, mainly in the context of parabolic problems. We study the global error of the different methods, compare with explicit stiff ODE solvers, and use the theoretical results to develop more accurate variants. Our theoretical results are confirmed by various numerical experiments.

The goal of the paper is to bring to the attention of the computational community a long overlooked, very simple, acceleration method that impressively speeds up explicit time-stepping schemes, at essentially no extra cost. The authors explain the basis of the method, namely stabilization via wisely

In this article, we propose a new class of finite volume schemes of arbitrary accuracy in space and time for systems of hyperbolic balance laws with stiff source terms. The new class of schemes is based on a three stage procedure. First a highorder WENO reconstruction procedure is applied to the cel
