Shouldn't the denominator of equation (4) be 2? --anon

== Accuracy and CFL condition ==
 
I've never used implicit methods, but am aware of their use in avoiding the 'stiffness' of stiff systems. Could someone add to the article a comment on their accuracy regarding by how much one has violated the CFL condition? I'm told that it's something like <math>O(\partial t / \lambda_{min})</math>, but don't know enough about it to be sure.
 
...I'm also told that one only ever *uses* implicit methods when you're seeking a final steady state, since you know when you've found the right answer. This is plainly not true, but again, could someone comment on their use in strongly time-dependent systems? [[User:7daysahead|7daysahead]] ([[User talk:7daysahead|talk]]) 21:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
