A set of order condition for block explicit hybrid method up to order five is presented and, based on the order conditions, two-point block explicit hybrid method of order five for the approximation of special second order delay differential equations is derived. The method is then trigonometrically fitted and used to integrate second-order delay differential equations with oscillatory solutions. The efficiency curves based on the log of maximum errors versus the CPU time taken to do the integration are plotted, which clearly demonstrated the superiority of the trigonometrically fitted block hybrid method.

We constructed three two-step semi-implicit hybrid methods (SIHMs) for solving oscillatory second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The first two methods are three-stage fourth-order and three-stage fifth-order with dispersion order six and zero dissipation. The third is a four-stage fifth-order method with dispersion order eight and dissipation order five. Numerical results show that SIHMs are more accurate as compared to the existing hybrid methods, Runge-Kutta Nyström (RKN) and Runge-Kutta (RK) methods of the same order and Diagonally Implicit Runge-Kutta Nyström (DIRKN) method of the same stage. The intervals of absolute stability or periodicity of SIHM for ODE are also presented.

We derived a two-step, four-stage, and fifth-order semi-implicit hybrid method which can be used for solving special second-order ordinary differential equations. The method is then trigonometrically fitted so that it is suitable for solving problems which are oscillatory in nature. The methods are then used for solving oscillatory delay differential equations. Numerical results clearly show the efficiency of the new method when compared to the existing explicit and implicit methods in the scientific literature.

In this paper, we develop algebraic order conditions for two-point block hybrid method up to order five using the approach of B-series. Based on the order conditions, we derive fifth order two-point block explicit hybrid method for solving special second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs), where the existing explicit hybrid method of order five is used to be the method at the first point. The method is then trigonometrically fitted so that it can be suitable for solving highly oscillatory problems arising from special second order ODEs. The new trigonometrically-fitted block method is tested using a set of oscillatory problems over a very large interval. Numerical results clearly showed the superiority of the method in terms of accuracy and execution time compared to other existing methods in the scientific literature.
