Abstract

This article considers the derivation and comparison of block methods with various step-lengths for solving second order initial value problems.The methods were developed via interpolation and collocation approach where a power series was employed as the interpolation equation.The developed methods using different step-lengths were applied to solve second order ordinary differential equations and the numerical solutions were then compared.In general, the results suggested that the higher step-length used, the better accuracy achieved.Further comparison with the existing methods also revealed that these block methods produced better accuracy when solving the same problems.
