Abstract

For the numerical solution of initial value problems a general procedure to determine global integration methods is derived and studied. They are collocation methods which can be easily implemented and provide a high order accuracy. They further provide globally continuous differentiable solutions. Computation of the integrals which appear in the coefficients are generated by a recurrence formula and no integrals are involved in the calculation. Numerical experiments provide favorable comparisons with other existing methods.
