An eighth-order exponentially fitted two-step hybrid method of explicit type for solving orbital and oscillatory problems (Q1751066)

The authors present a construction of an eighth-order exponentially fitted (EF) two-step hybrid method for the numerical integration of oscillatory second-order initial value problem. An explicit EF two-step hybrid method with symmetric nodes and algebraic order eight, which only uses seven function evaluations per step, is constructed. The authors claim that the present method has the highest algebraic order for the case of explicit EF two-step hybrid methods. The numerical experiments presented for several orbital and oscillatory problems demonstrate that the new eighth-order EF scheme is more efficient than other standard and EF two-step hybrid methods recently proposed in the scientific literature.
