The next, "corrector" step refines the initial approximation by using the predicted value of the function and another method to interpolate that unknown function's value at the same subsequent point. Predictor–corrector methods for solving ODEs
where is a function : [,), and the initial condition is a given vector. First-order means that only the first derivative of y appears in the equation, and higher derivatives are absent. Without loss of generality to higher-order systems, we restrict ourselves to first-order differential equations, because a higher-order ODE can be converted ...
The solution is the weighted average of six increments, where each increment is the product of the size of the interval, , and an estimated slope specified by function f on the right-hand side of the differential equation.
For example, consider the ordinary differential equation ′ = + The Euler method for solving this equation uses the finite difference quotient (+) ′ to approximate the differential equation by first substituting it for u'(x) then applying a little algebra (multiplying both sides by h, and then adding u(x) to both sides) to get (+) + (() +).
Let us now apply Euler's method again with a different step size to generate a second approximation to y(t n+1). We get a second solution, which we label with a (). Take the new step size to be one half of the original step size, and apply two steps of Euler's method. This second solution is presumably more accurate.

In fact, the region of absolute stability for the trapezoidal rule is precisely the left-half plane. This means that if the trapezoidal rule is applied to the linear test equation y' = λy, the numerical solution decays to zero if and only if the exact solution does. However, the decay of the numerical solution can be many orders of magnitude ...
Compute the Fourier transform (b j,k) of g.Compute the Fourier transform (a j,k) of f via the formula ().Compute f by taking an inverse Fourier transform of (a j,k).; Since we're only interested in a finite window of frequencies (of size n, say) this can be done using a fast Fourier transform algorithm.
