English abstract:
We consider semilinear stiff evolution equations of the type u'=Au+g(t,u). Exponential methods of Adams-type have recently been analyzed by several authors. In many applications, the matrix exponential exp(hA) and the corresponding 'phi-functions' are approximated using Krylov subspace techniques and, e.g., using Padé approximations in a projected space.

Replacing exp(hA) by an A-acceptable Padé approximation R(hA) in the recursion for the coefficient matrices gives rise to rational Adams-type schemes comprising methods proposed earlier. For this 'Adams-Padé'method, convergence analogous to the exponential version can be proved. For a Krylov implementation this suggests to use Padé approximants of appropriate fixed order; this is subject to further investigation.
