Iterative Methods for the Temporal Integration of PDEs Abstract I will present a class of iterative temporal integration methods and discuss the implications of using iterative methods for the temporal integration of PDEs. The iterative methods are based on a spectral deferred correction strategy, and unlike Runge-Kutta or linear-multistep methods, the order of accuracy of the solution is increased iteratively by solving a series of correction equations. I will outline the possible advantages to using iterative methods for time integration in relation to multi-scale applications, spatially adaptive mesh refinement, and parallelization in the temporal direction.
