Direct one-step block methods for solving general second order non-stiff ordinary differential equations

In this thesis, one-step block methods are developed for solving Initial Value Problems (IVPs) of general second order Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs). These methods is used to solve the general second order ODEs using variable step size. The proposed methods will obtain the approximation sol...
