Keywords:
Initial Value Problems, Third derivative, Trigonometrically fitted block method, Oscillatory problems, Stability, ConvergenceAbstract
This paper considered the formulation of continuous third derivative trigonometrically fitted method for the solution of oscillatory first order initial value problems using the technique of interpolation and collocation of the approximate solution by combining polynomial and trigonometric functions. Solving for the unknown parameters and substituting the results into the approximate solution yielded a continuous linear multistep method, which was evaluated at some selected grid points where two cases were considered at equal intervals to give the discrete schemes which are implemented in block form. The blocks are convergent and stable. Numerical experiments show that the methods compete favorably with existing method.This paper considered the formulation of continuous third derivative trigonometrically fitted block method for the solution of stiff and oscillatory problems.
