The Taylor Center

A description and links to an ODE solver based on Taylor Series.

The Taylor Method ODE Solver is distinguished from other numerical methods in that only the Taylor Method computes the increments of the solution with theoretically unlimited precision so that the integration step need not approach zero even for an arbitrary degree of accuracy.  This is possible because the method uses automatic differentiation - exact computing of the derivatives up to any desired order  - to obtain the Taylor polynomial of any degree of the solution components.
