Step-doubling error estimation

ID: step-doubling-error-estimation

For an order- one-step method with leading numerical error , two half steps have leading error . The displayed difference estimates exact minus the finer approximation. Adding it implements Richardson extrapolation. It requires a common starting value, the smooth local expansion, and accuracy of all algebraic solves; it can fail across a nonsmooth event.
