Adam-Bash forth-Multan Predictor Corrector Method for Solving First Order Initial value problem and Its Error Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents fourth order Adams predictor corrector numerical scheme for solving initial value problem. First, the solution domain is discretized. Then the derivatives in the given initial value problem are replaced by finite difference approximations and the numerical scheme that provides algebraic systems of difference equations is developed. The starting points are obtained by using fourth order Runge-Kutta method and then applying the present method to finding the solution of Initial value problem. To validate the applicability of the method, two model examples are solved for different values of mesh size. The stability and convergence of the present method have been investigated. The numerical results are presented by tables and graphs. The present method helps us to get good results of the solution for small value of mesh size h. The proposed method approximates the exact solution very well. Moreover, the present method improves the findings of some existing numerical methods reported in the literature.
