The importance of delay differential equations (DDEs), in modelling mathematical biological, engineering and physical problems, has motivated searchers to provide efficient numerical methods for solving such important type of differential equations. Most of these types of differential models are stiff, and suitable numerical methods must be introduced to simulate the solutions. In this paper, w...

This paper derived four newly schemes which are combined in order to form an accurate and efficient block method for parallel or sequential solution of third order ordinary differential equations of the form y′′′ fx, y, y′, y′′ , y α y , y′ α β , y′′ α η with associated initial or boundary conditions. The implementation strategies of the derived method have shown that the block method is found ...

Variable-step (VS) second derivative $k$-step $3$-stage Hermite--Birkhoff--Obrechkoff (HBO) methods of order $p=(k+3)$, denoted by HBO$(p)$ are constructed as a combination of linear $k$-step methods of order $(p-2)$ and a second derivative two-step diagonally implicit $3$-stage Hermite--Birkhoff method of order 5 (DIHB5) for solving stiff ordinary differential equations. The main reason for co...

Runge-Kutta methods are an important family of implicit and explicit iterative methods used for the approximation of solutions of ordinary differential equations. Explicit RungeKutta methods are unsuitable for the solution of stiff equations as their region of stability is small. Stiff equation is a differential equation for which certain numerical methods for solving the equation are numerical...

In this paper we propose a class of second derivative multistep methods for solving some well-known classes of LaneEmden type equations which are nonlinear ordinary differential equations on the semi-infinite domain. These methods, which have good stability and accuracy properties, are useful in deal with stiff ODEs. We show superiority of these methods by applying them on the some famous Lane-...

In this paper, we consider an implicit block backward differentiation formula (BBDF) for solving Volterra Integro-Differential Equations (VIDEs). The approach given in this paper leads to numerical methods for solving VIDEs which avoid the need for special starting procedures. Convergence order and linear stability properties of the methods are analyzed. Also, methods with extensive stability r...
