Functionally fitted block method for solving the general oscillatory second-order initial value problems and hyperbolic partial differential equations (Q2298085)

Summary: We present a block hybrid functionally fitted Runge-Kutta-Nyström method (BHFNM) which is dependent on the stepsize and a fixed frequency. Since the method is implemented in a block-by-block fashion, the method does not require starting values and predictors inherent to other predictor-corrector methods. Upon deriving our method, stability is illustrated, and it is used to numerically solve the general second-order initial value problems as well as hyperbolic partial differential equations. In doing so, we demonstrate the method's relative accuracy and efficiency.
