A Fifth-fourth Continuous Block Implicit Hybrid Method for the Solution of Third Order Initial Value Problems in Ordinary Differential Equations

摘要

In this paper, block method was developed using method of collocation and interpolation of power series as approximate solution to give a system of non linear equations which is solved to give a continuous hybrid linear multistep method. The continuous hybrid linear multistep method is solved for the independent solutions to give a continuous hybrid block method which is then evaluated at some selected grid points to give a discrete block method. The basic properties of the discrete block method were investigated and found to be zero stable, consistent and convergent. The derived scheme was tested on some numerical examples and was found to give better approximation than the existing method.
