Abstract

Abstract “The last decade has seen such a deluge of papers on the numerical solution of the initial value problems for ordinary differential equations that it is quite impracticable to list, far less to summarize, all the contributions.” These are the opening words of J. D. Lambert’s paper [54] in the State of the Art 1976 Conference Proceedings. In spite of such a disclaimer, the paper succeeds in presenting, in less than fifty large-print pages, a unified view of all that, at the time of its writing, was known on numerical initial-value problems (IVP) for ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Ten years later, the subject was just too big and although the State of the Art 1986 Conference [50] featured three ODE speakers (J.D. Lambert, A.R. Curtis and G. Wanner), their combined contributions are very far from surveying all the numerical ODE field.
