A framework for multirate time integration of interface-coupled problems

Connors, Jeffrey M.

The research described here was performed as part of the DOE SciDAC project Coupling Approaches for Next Generation Architectures (CANGA). A framework was developed for the derivation of novel algorithms for the multirate time integration of two-component systems coupled across an interface between spatial domains. The multirate aspect means that different time steps are allowed by each component integrator. The framework provides a way to construct multirate integrators with desirable properties related to stability, accuracy and preservation of system invariants. This report describes the framework and summarizes the major results, examples and research products.
