Stiff differential equations solved by Radau methods E. Hairer and G. Wanner Abstract. Radau IIA methods are successful algorithms for the numerical solution of stiff differential equations. The paper starts with a survey on the historical development of the methods and the discoveries of their theoretical properties.
Numerical experiments illustrate the behaviour of the code.
