Diagonally Implicit Super Class of Block Backward Differentiation Formula with Off‐Step Points for Solving Stiff Initial Value Problems

A new formula called 2-point diagonally implicit super class of BBDF with two off-step points (2ODISBBDF) for solving stiff IVPs is formulated. The method approximates two solutions with two off-step points simultaneously at each iteration. By varying a parameter ρ ∈ (–1,1) in the formula, different sets of formulae can be generated. A specific choice of 3 4 ρ = is made and it was shown that th...

Fully Implicit 3-Point Block Extended Backward Differentiation Formula for Stiff Initial Value Problems

A new block extended backward differentiation formula suitable for the integration of stiff initial value problems is derived. The procedure used involves the use of an extra future point which helps in improving the performance of an existing block backward differentiation formula. The method approximates the solution at 3 points simultaneously at each step. Accuracy and stability properties o...
