Hello,

I am teaching myself various numerical methods for integrating coupled, second order differential equations.
I am looking at Newmark-Beta methods

Sometimes I see Newmark Beta implemented as a predictor/corrector method.
Sometimes I see just Newmark methods alone.

And I get confused.

What IS the Newmark Beta method?
Is it so inextricably tied to the notion of predictor corrector that it is one and the same?

Or, are some of the sources just applying a "predictor/corrector" improvement on TOP of the Newmark scheme.

Here is a statement of Newmark (and I see no reference to predictor corrector)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newmark-beta_method

Here is a statement of Newmark that launches right into prediction and correction

What is the Newmark method?

Sorry...

Thanks for the bump, but I figured it out a few days later, and forgot about this post

My assumption was correct...

The Newmark Method (NM) is NOT the same a a Predictor Corrector (PC). I just happened to have LEARNED about both at the same time where NM was implemented in a PC style.
