What are the advantages and disadvantages of using explicit and implicit difference equations?
EXPLAIN
(a) Advantages and disadvantages of explicit and implicit methods
The explicit method can be solved by marching, which is very simple to implement but the maximum
time step is limited by stability considerations. The implicit method forces the use of matrix inversion
software to find the solution, but the size of the time step is not limited by stability considerations. (It
is limited by accuracy considerations just as it is for any method.)
