I am writing a piece on integration of differential equations. One of the words that I have to use frequently is "timestep" (however it is written), i.e. a step forward in the "simulated" time.
There seem to be three variants:
- "time step"
- "timestep"
- "time-step"
The wikipedia article one Verlet integration in fact uses all three (!) of these variants.
Is there a context in which one is preferred over the other? How do I decide which one to use?
