Experiments with a variable-order type 1 DIMSIM code

The issues related to the development of a new code for nonstiff ordinary differential equations are discussed. This code is based on the Nordsieck representation of type 1 DIMSIMs, implemented in a variable-step size variable-order mode. Numerical results demonstrate that the error estimation employed in the code is very reliable and that the step and order changing strategies are very robust. This code outperforms the Matlab ode45 code for moderate and stringent tolerances.
