Popis: A simple integration method is presented that mitigates inherent instabilities in certain ordinary differential equations. These instabilities occur for initial value problems or for problems of infinite range where initial value methods are required. Our technique uses a modified initial value method that employees a restart scheme. The restart values for the dependent variables are found by the Newton-Raphson technique. The method is applied to the “tearing mode” equations of resistive magnetohydrodynamics. Accuracy to six places is achieved.
