A Class of Implicit Six Step Hybrid Backward Differentiation Formulas for the Solution of Second Order Differential Equations

Umaru Mohammed & Raphael Babatunde Adeniyi · Journal of Advances in Mathematics and Computer Science · 2014

In this paper, we propose a class implicit six step Hybrid Backward Differentiation Formulas (HBDF) for the solution of second order Initial Value Problems (IVPs). The method is derived by the interpolation and collocation of the assumed approximate solution. The single continuou...
