For people who really use numerical methods to solve differential
equations, I'm interested to find out what your "favourite algorithms"
are and why you like (or don't like) them.
I've been working implementing diffeq algorithms in Maple other than
the rkf45 used in Maple's dsolve/numeric routine, primarily because
people here tend to throw problems at it that it can't cope with. If
any educators, theoreticians, or just plain hackers have algorithms
that for them have stood the test of time, I'd be interested to hear
about your experiences. Diffeqs aren't my specialty, so you may know
a lot about methods that I've barely even heard of but that I should
consider implementing.
