Power Series Methods I - Ordinary Differential Equations.
Abstract
A method is presented for constructing finite difference schemes of high accuracy for ordinary differential equations. Since it is based on power series representation of the solution it is applicable to partial differential equations as well. The method is demonstrated on the general nonlinear first order ordinary differential equation and the truncation errors are analysed. A-stability of the method is analysed and it is found to be stable in this sense to arbitrarily high order. Finally a nonlinear example is presented. (Author)
