Optimized SSP <strong>methods</strong><br />

In general, an SSP method preserves strong stability properties satisfied by<br />

Euler’s method, under a modified step size restriction:<br />

∆t ≤ C∆tFE.<br />

A fair metric for comparison is the effective SSP coefficient:<br />

Ceff =<br />

C<br />

# <strong>of</strong> stages<br />

By designing high order <strong>methods</strong> with many stages, we can achieve<br />

Ceff → 1.<br />
