Efficient Numerical Solution of Orbital Problems with the use of Symmetric Four-step Trigonometrically-fitted Methods

Abstract

An explicit hybrid symmetric four-step method of algebraic order six is developed in this paper. Numerical comparative results from the application of the new method to well known periodic orbital problems, demonstrate the efficiency of the method presented here.
