Description
Summary:This paper proposes a new numerical method with stepnumber k=5 for solving third order initial value problems of ordinary differential equations directly.Interpolation and collocation technique is applied in developing the method where power series approximate solution is used as a basis function and its third derivative as a collocation equation. The new method developed possesses the following properties namely zero–stability, consistency, convergence and having order six for the main method. The application of the method to some third order initial value problems confirmed its superiority over the existing method when compared in terms of error.
