Foil 25 Comparison of Explicit and Implicit Methods

From Fox Presentation Fall 1995 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 1998 Enhancements. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Adams-Bashforth fourth-order explicit method (4 step)
Adams-Moulton fourth order method (3 step) is an implicit Multistep method
Note coefficient of implicit method is a factor of 251/19 smaller than explicit method of same order -- this is why extrapolation is not so good!
