Ten years after Tendler's PhD in 1973, Peter Tischer finished his PhD thesis in 1983. He developed an array of cyclic multistep formulas, which are all stiffly stable. While Tendler found his formulas by guessing and experimenting, Tischer computed his formulas according the following…

In Die verwendeten zyklischen Formeln im Programm TENDLER we listed the Widlund wedge α and Widlund distance δ for the seven formulas of Joel Tendler, which he developed during his PhD thesis in 1973. Here we compute these values by using the QZ algorithm. We list the values for the BDF (backward…

Task at hand: extract all lines of a file, which do not have a specific line length. Example: Print out all lines, which do not have a line length of 171 and not 1370. Also see Line Length Distribution in Files. Below Perl one-liner does that, here for the line lengths 20 and 21: perl -ne 'print if…

It is entirely possible, and even very likely, in view of the fact that the parameters $C_{ij}$ were “manually” set in an interactive computer search for the maximum $\alpha$, that better and simpler cyclic composite methods exist. An interested reader is invited to try the development of such…
