An Eight Order Block Multistep Method for solution of Second Order
Initial Value Problems
Abstract
An eight order block multistep method (BMM) is put forward for the
solution of second order problems of ordinary dierential equations with
oscillatory solutions. It uses both polynomial and trigonometric
functions as bases in the derivation of the method, to produce three
discrete formula which is applied to the second order equation by
assembling them into a block method known as Third Derivative
Trigonometric Fitted Block Method TDTFBM to generate the approximate
solutions. The stability, consistency and convergence properties of the
TDTFBM are well discussed. To show the performance, it was demonstrated
on some classical problems for its accuracy and efficiency advantages
over some known methods in the literature.
