Development and implementation of a tenth-order hybrid block method for solving fifth-order boundary value problems

A hybrid convergent method of tenth-order is presented in this work for directly solving fifth-order boundary value problems in ordinary differential equations. A unique direct block approach is obtained by combining multiple Finite Difference Formulas which are derived via the collocation technique. The proposed method is fully analyzed and the existence and uniqueness of the discrete solution is established. Different numerical examples are considered and the results are compared with those provided by existing works in the literature. The comparison shows the good performance of the present method over some cited works in the literature, confirming the competitiveness and superiority of the new numerical integrator
