Abstract
A generalization of Zienkiewicz and Lewis's least squares time stepping procedure is proposed. The method is applied to a simple initial value problem for a range of parameter values and the performance is compared with that of several well-known methods. It is shown that solution accuracy even greater than that of Zienkiewicz and Lewis's method can be obtained for intermediate step lengths. For a particular choice of parameter value a method is obtained that will not oscillate regardless of step length chosen. This method nevertheless possesses truncation error nearly comparable to that of the Crank-Nicholson scheme and should prove useful in treating stiff systems. A three-time-level least squares scheme is also developed and compared with other methods for the initial value problem. The method does not appear to offer any advantages over two-time-level methods.
