β¦ Synopsis
In a previous paper Wade et al. 1Β° a type-insensitive Runge-Kutta based code, SARK, was developed for the integration of a system of ODEs. The algorithm automatically determined which numerical method to use for the current integration step from a suite of internal explicit and implicit Runge-Kutta methods. Results produced showed that the switching algorithm developed was performing correctly when applied to different classes of problems. In this paper the use of the type-insensitive code is explored further by comparing it over a wider range of test problems.

Several effective codes for the solution of stiff ordinary differential equations (ODES) are based on second derivative formulas. They are inefficient for non-stiff problems. It is shown how to modify such codes to make them reasonably efficient. The modifications make them more efficient for stiff
