Abstract

We have recently introduced a very high order Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the solution of stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and delay differential equations (DDEs). In this communication we focus on the detection of breaking points frequently arising in the solution of stiff DDEs. Breaking points are discontinuities appearing in the solution of DDEs and/or in some of its derivatives. Breaking points affect the efficiency of the numerical method by forcing very small time steps in their vicinity. They also locally affect the solution accuracy. We therefore introduce a very simple breaking point detection algorithm in order to further improve the efficiency our DG method.
