Abstract
This paper develops a third-order fully implicit adaptive variable step-size superclass block backward differentiation formula (VSBBDF3) for the efficient numerical simulation of nonlinear stiff dynamical systems, including oscillatory, chaotic, and reaction-kinetics systems governed by ordinary differential equations. The method extends the classical block BDF framework through a structured superclass coefficient formulation while preserving full implicitness. By computing multiple solution approximations simultaneously within each block, the scheme enhances both stability and computational efficiency. An adaptive step-size strategy controls local truncation errors, enabling dynamic respons... More >
