Recently, block backward differentiation formulas (BBDFs) are used successfully for solving stiff differential equations. In this article, a class of hybrid block backward differentiation formulas (HBBDFs) methods that possessed A –stability are constructed by reformulating the BBDFs for the numerical solution of stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The stability and convergence of the new method are investigated. The methods are found to be zero-stable and consistent, hence the method is convergent. Comparisons between the proposed method with exact solutions and existing methods of similar type show that the new extension of the BBDFs improved the stability with acceptable degree of accuracy.

A Multistep collocation techniques is used in this paper to develop a 3-point explicit and implicit block methods, which are suitable for generating solutions of the general second-order ordinary differential equations of the form . The derivation of both explicit and implicit block schemes is given for the purpose of comparison of results. The Stability and Convergence of the individual methods of the block schemes are investigated, and the methods are found to be 0-stable with good region of absolute stability. The 3-point block schemes derived are tested on standard mechanical problems, and it is shown that the implicit block methods are superior to the explicit ones in terms of accuracy.

The main contribution in this paper is to construct an implicit fixed coefficient Block Backward Differentiation Formulas denoted as A ( α ) -BBDF with equal intervals for solving stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs). To avoid calculating the differentiation coefficients at each step of the integration, the coefficients of the formulas will be stored, with the intention of optimizing the performance in terms of precision and computational time. The plots of their A ( α ) stability region are provided, and the order of the method is also verified. The necessary conditions for convergence, such as the consistency and zero stability of the method, are also discussed. The numerical results clearly showed the efficiency of the method in terms of accuracy and execution time as compared to other existing methods in the scientific literature.

In this research, a singly diagonally implicit block backward differentiation formulas (SDIBBDF) for solving stiff ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is proposed. The formula reduced a fully implicit method to lower triangular matrix with equal diagonal elements which will results in only one evaluation of the Jacobian and one LU decomposition for each time step. For the SDIBBDF method to have practical significance in solving stiff problems, its stability region must at least cover almost the whole of the negative half plane. Step size restriction of the proposed method have to be considered in order to ensure stability of the method in computing numerical results. Efficiency of the SDIBBDF method in solving stiff ODEs is justified when it managed to outperform the existing methods for both accuracy and computational time.

This paper focuses on the derivation of diagonally implicit two-point block backward differentiation formulas (DI2BBDF) for solving first-order initial value problem (IVP) with two fixed points. The method approximates the solution at two points simultaneously. The implementation and the stability of the proposed method are also discussed. A performance of the DI2BBDF is compared with the existing methods.

We derive a variable step of the implicit block methods based on the backward differentiation formulae (BDF) for solving stiff initial value problems (IVPs). A simplified strategy in controlling the step size is proposed with the aim of optimizing the performance in terms of precision and computation time. The numerical results obtained support the enhancement of the method proposed as compared to MATLAB's suite of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) solvers, namely, ode15s and ode23s.

In this paper, an L-stable third derivative multistep method has been proposed for the solution of stiff systems of ordinary differential equations. The continuous hybrid method is derived using interpolation and collocation techniques of power series as the basis function for the approximate solution. The method consists of the main method and an additional method which are combined to form a block matrix and implemented simultaneously. The stability and convergence properties of the block were investigated and discussed. Numerical examples to show the efficiency and accuracy of the new method were presented.
