High order numerical methods for solving high orders functional differential equations (2411.01874v1)

Abstract: In this paper we construct high order numerical methods for solving third and fourth orders nonlinear functional differential equations (FDE). They are based on the discretization of iterative methods on continuous level with the use of the trapezoidal quadrature formulas with corrections. Depending on the number of terms in the corrections we obtain methods of $O(h^4)$ and $O(h^6)$ accuracy. Some numerical experiments demonstrate the validity of the obtained theoretical results. The approach used here for the third and fourth orders nonlinear functional differential equations can be applied to functional differential equations of any orders.
