Arbitrary high-order methods for one-sided direct event location in discontinuous differential problems with nonlinear event function
share
In this paper we are concerned with numerical methods for the one-sided event location in discontinuous differential problems, whose event function is nonlinear (in particular, of polynomial type). The original problem is transformed into an equivalent Poisson problem, which is effectively solved by suitably adapting a recently devised class of energy-conserving methods for Poisson systems. The actual implementation of the methods is fully discussed, with a particular emphasis to the problem at hand. Some numerical tests are reported, to assess the theoretical findings.
