MaxStepSize
is an option to functions like NDSolve that specifies the maximum size of a single step used in generating a result.
Examples

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:

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