Abstract
The explicit methods although very suitable for parallel processing always deny us reasonable accuracy and some stability; on the other hand, the implicit schemes offer stability, but the exploitation of these methods for parallel processing may be difficult and possibly inefficient.
The class of Group Explicit (GE) methods, introduced herein, is the sort of semi-explicit schemes which enable us with a trade-off between stability and the possibility of them being suitable for implementation of parallel systems. Furthermore, it is possible to express the semi-explicit schemes in terms of pure explicit formulae to enable their efficient implementation.
