[edit] AB coefficients

I believe the Adams-Bashforth Formula is wrong. I get the correct result for the Moulton example, but I can't get the Bashforth to jive with the error conditions. Or am I just crazy? Sim 01:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] It's correct.

The coefficients are correct. I just checked the following paper:

Purser, R. and L. Leslie. "Generalized Adams-Bashforth time integration schemes for a semi-Lagrangian model employing the second-derivative form of the horizontal momentum equations." Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society 122 (1996): 737-763.

Thanks, Wojciech.
