Explicit method

Explicit and implicit methods are approaches used in numerical analysis for obtaining numerical approximations to the solutions of time-dependent ordinary and partial differential equations, as is required in computer simulations of physical processes.

Explicit methods calculate the state of a system at a later time from the state of the system at the current time, while implicit methods find a solution by solving an equation involving both the current state of the system and the later one. Mathematically, if ${\displaystyle Y(t)}$ is the current system state and ${\displaystyle Y(t+\Delta t)}$ is the state at the later time (${\displaystyle \Delta t}$ is a small time step), then, for an explicit method
