Extract

Parallel processing has made iterative methods an attractive alternative for solving large systems of initial value problems. Iterative methods for initial value problems have a history of more than a century, and in the works of Picard (1893) and Lindelöf (1894) they were given a firm theoretical basis. In particular, the superlinear convergence on finite intervals is included in Lindelöf (1894).
