Abstract
The introduction of new linear block method for the direct simulation of fourth order IVPs has been developed in this article. The reason for adopting direct simulation of fourth order initial value problems is to address some setbacks in reduction method. When developing the method, we adopted the linear block approach through a one step method. We have validated the accuracy of the method on some fourth order initial value problems without reduction process, and the results are better than the conventional method. The numerical experiments were given and the results obtained were found to be better in accuracy than the existing methods in literature.
