 Once the solution $u_k$ at time $t_k$ is known, it is straightforward
 to determine $m(u_{k+1})$ from \eqref{eq:expliciteuler},

 On the other hand, the explicit method \eqref{eq:expliciteuler} is stable only
 if the time step size $\Delta t_{k+1}$ is below a certain limit that depends
 on the specific balance equation, whereas the implicit method \eqref{eq:impliciteuler}
