This paper presents a set of newly constructed polynomials valid in interval [-1, 1] with respect to weight function w(x) = x + 1. For applicability sake, the polynomials shall be employed as trial function to develop a fast, efficient and reliable block algorithm for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations with application to second order initial value problems. Collocation and interpolation techniques were adopted for the formulation of self-starting continuous hybrid schemes. Findings from the analysis of the basic properties of the method using appropriate existing theorems show that the developed schemes are consistent, zero-stable and hence convergent. On implementation, the superiority of the scheme over the existing method is established numerically. Further investigation of the properties of these polynomials is ongoing as we hope to discuss this in the future paper.
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.
