Numerical solution of stiff systems of differential equations arising from chemical reactions

Abstract

Long time integration of large stiff systems of initial value problems, arising from chemical reactions, demands efficient methods with good accuracy and extensive absolute stability region. In this paper, we apply second derivative general linear methods to solve some stiff chemical problems such as chemical Akzo Nobel problem, HIRES problem and OREGO problem.
