✦ Synopsis

Convergence of BDFs applied to nonlinear stiff initial value problems

We present bounds for the global errors of backward differentiation formulas (BDFs) applied to non-autonomous stiff problems y = A(t)y + Φ(t) and outline the analysis for convergence of BDFs applied to rather general nonlinear stiff problems as introduced in [1].
