Abstract

This paper introduces some subdivision criteria for use in adaptive algorithms for the solution of ordinary differential equations by piecewise polynomial collocation methods. These criteria aim to take into account the influence of the behaviour in one subinterval on the error of others. These criteria are compared with various alternatives using examples which include problems with interior or boundary layers. These examples illustrate some of the difficulties which can arise. The danger of using criteria based on estimates of the global error is emphasised.
