Summary
We
describe an effective computational procedure of obtaining estimate
for the global error in the long-term numerical integration with one-step
embedded explicit Runge-Kutta methods applied to an ODE system. The
paper relies on the existence of an asymptotic expansion for the
global error. An example is given using a particular ODE system
modeling the behavior of a heterogeneous catalytic reaction with
complex dynamics.
