Delay differential equations (DDEs) appear naturally in modeling many real life phenomena. DDEs differ from ordinary differential equations since the derivative of the unknown function contains the expression of the unknown function at earlier and present states as well. DDEs that cannot be solved analytically are solved numerically. In this work, we solve DDEs using predictor-corrector multistep method where the corrector is iterated until convergence. The predictor uses the Adams-Bashforth four-step explicit method and the corrector uses Adams-Moulton three-step implicit method. Two types of interpolation polynomials which are Lagrange and Hermite interpolations are used to approximate the delay solutions. The accuracy of the adapted Adams-Bashforth-Moulton methods using these two polynomials is compared.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
