The N-body problem is a classic problem involving a system of N discrete bodies mutually interacting in a dynamical system. At any moment in time there are N*(N - 1)/2 such interactions occurring. This scaling as N^2 leads to computational…

We review error estimation methods for co-simulation, in particular methods that are applicable when the subsystems provide minimal interfaces. By this, we mean that subsystems do not support rollback of time steps, do not output…
