DIAGONAL PAD ] APPROXIMATIONS FOR INITIAL VALUE PROBLEMS *

Diagonal Padd approximations to the time evolution operator for initial value problems are applied in a novel way to the numerical solution of these problems by explicitly factoring the polynomials of the approximation. A remarkable gain over conventional methods in efficiency and accuracy of solution is obtained.
