Implicit ODE Solvers Are Not Universally More Robust Than Explicit ODE Solvers

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Rackauckas 2025-09-28 15:41:51

A very common adage in ODE solvers is that if you run into trouble with an explicit method, usually some explicit Runge-Kutta method like RK4, then you should try an implicit method. Implicit methods, because they are doing more work, solving an implicit system via a Newton method having “better” stability, should be the thing you go to on the “hard” problems. This is at least what I heard at first, and then I learned about edge cases. Specifically, you hear people say “but for hyperbolic PDEs

Here’s How to Deflect a Dangerous Asteroid Without It Totally Backfiring

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-09-28 19:30:14

The orbital shove demonstrated an asteroid deflection technique that could come in handy if a massive rock were headed in Earth’s direction. As it turns out, however, deflecting a potentially threatening asteroid is only half the battle. Striking an asteroid for deflection purposes could send it back on a collision course with Earth, merely delaying the planet-shatterin
