Abstract

Block-Milne’s device is an extension of block-predictor-corrector method and specifically developed to design a worthy step size, resolve the convergence criteria and maximize error. In this study, programming codes of block- Milne’s device (P-CB-MD) for solving fourth order ODEs are considered. Collocation and interpolation with power series as the basic solution are used to devise P-CB-MD. Analysing the P-CB-MD will give rise to the principal local truncation error (PLTE) after determining the order. The P-CB-MD for solving fourth order ODEs is written using Mathematica which can be utilized to evaluate and produce the mathematical results. The P-CB-MD is very useful to demonstrate speed, efficiency and accuracy compare to manual computation applied. Some selected problems were solved and compared with existing methods. This was made realizable with the support of the named computational benefits
