The purpose of this paper is to produce an efficient zero-stable numerical method with the same order of accuracy as that of the main starting values (predictors) for direct solution of fourth-order differential equations without reducing it to a system of first-order equations. The method of collocation of the differential system arising from the approximate solution to the problem is adopted using the power series as a basis function. The method is consistent, symmetric, and of optimal order . The main predictor for the method is also consistent, symmetric, zero-stable, and of optimal order .

In this paper, a seven-step block method for the solution of first order initial value problem in ordinary differential equations based on collocation of the differential equation and interpolation of the approximate solution using power series have been formed. The method is found to be consistent and zero-stable which guarantees convergence. Finally, numerical examples are presented to illustrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the method.  Keywords: Power series, Collocation, Interpolation, Block method, Stiff.

We present two pairs of embedded Runge-Kutta type methods for direct solution of fourth-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of the formy(iv)=f(x,y)denoted as RKFD methods. The first pair, which we will call RKFD5(4), has orders 5 and 4, and the second one has orders 6 and 5 and we will call it RKFD6(5). The techniques used in the derivation of the methods are that the higher order methods are very precise and the lower order methods give the best error estimate. Based on these pairs, we have developed variable step codes and we have used them to solve a set of special fourth-order problems. Numerical results show the robustness and the efficiency of the new RKFD pairs as compared with the well-known embedded Runge-Kutta pairs in the scientific literature after reducing the problems into a system of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and solving them.

The two-dimensional equations of magnetoelastodynamics are considered as a symmetric hyperbolic system of linear first-order partial-differential equations in three independent variables. The characteristic properties of the system are determined and a numerical method for obtaining the solution to mixed initial and boundary-value problems in plane magnetoelastodynamics is presented. Results on the von Neumann necessary condition are presented. Application of the method to a problem which has a known solution provides further numerical evidence of the convergence and stability of the method.

In two recent papers Dirac has shown how the “duplexity” phenomena of the atom can be accounted for without recourse to the hypothesis of the spinning electron. The investigation is carried out by the methods of non-commutative algebra, the wave function ψ being a matrix of the fourth order. An alternative presentation of the theory, using the methods of wave mechanics, has been given by Darwin. The four-rowed matrix ψ is replaced by four wave functions ψ1, ψ2, ψ3, ψ4 satisfying four linear differential equations of the first order. These functions are related to one particular direction, and the work can only be given invariance of form at the expense of much additional complication, the four wave functions being replaced by sixteen.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of weak solution for the system of finite difference schemes for coupled sine-Gordon equations. A novel first order of accuracy unconditionally stable difference scheme is considered. The variational method also known as the energy method is applied to prove unique weak solvability.We also present a new unified numerical method for the approximate solution of this problem by combining the difference scheme and the fixed point iteration. A test problem is considered, and results of numerical experiments are presented with error analysis to verify the accuracy of the proposed numerical method.

<span>In this paper, an approximate analytical solution for solving the fuzzy Bratu equation based on variation iteration method (VIM) is analyzed and modified without needed of any discretization by taking the benefits of fuzzy set theory. VIM is applied directly, without being reduced to a first order system, to obtain an approximate solution of the uncertain Bratu equation. An example in this regard have been solved to show the capacity and convenience of VIM.</span>
