A Collocation Method for Direct Numerical Integration of Initial Value Problems in Higher Order Ordinary Differential Equations
This paper concerns the solution of initial value problems (IVPs) in ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of orders higher than unity. The Chebyshev polynomials is hereby adopted as basis function in a multi-step collocation technique for the derivation of continuous integration schemes for direct solution of these ODEs without recourse to the conventional approach of first reducing such to their equivalent first order differential systems.
