A two-step explicit \(P\)-stable method of high phase-lag order for linear periodic IVPs (Q859890)

The authors present a nonlinear two-step explicit P-stable method of fourth algebraic order and 12th phase lag order for solving one-dimensional linear periodic initial value problems (IVPs) of linear second order ordinary differential equations. It is shown that for multi-dimensional problems, based on the special vector arithmetic with respect to an analytic function introduced by \textit{X. Y. Wu} and \textit{J. L. Xia} [Appl. Math. Comput. 141, No.~2--3, 307-312 (2003; Zbl 1043.65082)], the method not only can be extended directly to be vector-applicable, but also has fourth algebraic order. Some numerical results are given to illustrate the efficiency of the method.
