Basic Examples  (1)

Keep the largest step taken by NDSolve to be 0.01:

Applications  (2)

The default step control may miss a suddenly varying feature:

A smaller MaxStepSize setting ensures that NDSolve catches the feature:

Attempting to compute the number of positive integers less than misses several events:

Setting a small enough MaxStepSize ensures that none of the events are missed:

Properties & Relations  (1)

For a length l, MaxStepFraction->f is equivalent to MaxStepSize->(f l):
