A family of unconditionally stable algorithms for the economical computation of large linear dynamic systems is described and applied. Possible application to divergent systems is considered and some of the difficulties of extending the use of the algorithms to non‐linear systems are discussed. In the Appendix a previously developed conditionally stable algorithm is applied to the non‐linear gust response of a prestressed cable roof structure over the Munich Olympic Stadium. The idealization involves 1,164 degrees of freedom.
