Abstract: This paper presents the derivation techniques of block method for solving higher order initial value problems of ordinary differential equations directly. The method was developed via interpolation and collocation of the shifted Legendre polynomials as basis function. The method is capable of providing the numerical solution at several points simultaneously.Abstract: This paper presents the derivation techniques of block method for solving higher order initial value problems of ordinary differential equations directly.
