Overlapping Grid-Based Optimized Single-Step Hybrid Block Method for Solving First-Order Initial Value Problems

This study presents a new variant of the hybrid block methods (HBMs) for solving initial value problems (IVPs). The overlapping hybrid block technique is developed by changing each integrating block of the HBM to incorporate the penultimate intra-step point of the previous block. In this paper, we present preliminary results obtained by applying the overlapping HBM to IVPs of the first order, utilizing equally spaced grid points and optimal points that maximize the local truncation errors of the main formulas at the intersection of each integration block. It is proven that the novel method reduces the local truncation error by at least one order of the integration step size, O(h). In order to demonstrate the superiority of the suggested method, numerical experimentation results were compared to the corresponding HBM based on the standard non-overlapping grid. It is established that the proposed method is more accurate than HBM versions of the same order that have been published in the literature.
