A Functionally-Fitted Block Numerov Method for Solving Second-Order Initial-Value Problems with Oscillatory Solutions

Abstract

[EN] A functionally-fitted Numerov-type method is developed for the numerical solution of second-order initial-value problems with oscillatory solutions. The basis functions are considered among trigonometric and hyperbolic ones. The characteristics of the method are studied, particularly, it is shown that it has a third order of convergence for the general second-order ordinary differential equation, y′′=f(x,y,y′), it is a fourth order convergent method for the special second-order ordinary differential equation, y′′=f(x,y). Comparison with other methods in the literature, even of higher order, shows the good performance of the proposed method.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.Publicación en abierto financiada por el Consorcio de Bibliotecas Universitarias de Castilla y León (BUCLE), con cargo al Programa Operativo 2014ES16RFOP009 FEDER 2014-2020 DE CASTILLA Y LEÓN, Actuación:20007-CL - Apoyo Consorcio BUCL
