Abstract

In this paper, we provide the reasons behind the choice of opting to solve the higher-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by involving all the derivative's terms in the variational formulation using the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method instead of treating its reduced system of first order ODEs. The computational results reveal the efficacy of the DG method for higher order ODEs, which lends it as an attractive alternative instead of other numerical techniques.
