Computational Mathematics
An implicit method is a numerical technique used to solve differential equations, particularly in the context of time-stepping for partial differential equations (PDEs) and boundary value problems. This approach involves solving for the unknown values at the next time step by considering both the current and future states, leading to a system of equations that must be solved simultaneously. Implicit methods are especially beneficial in situations where stability is crucial, as they can handle larger time steps without compromising accuracy.
congrats on reading the definition of implicit method. now let's actually learn it.
