Abstract

Abstract: Solving stiff, singular, and singularly perturbed initial value problems (IVPs) has always been challenging for researchers working in different fields of science and engineering. In this research work, an attempt is made to devise a family of nonlinear methods among which second‐ to fourth‐order methods are not only 𝒜 − stable but 𝒜 − acceptable as well under order stars' conditions. These features make them more suitable for solving stiff and singular systems in ordinary differential equations. Methods with remaining orders are either zero‐ or conditionally stable. The theoretical analysis contains local truncation error, consistency, and order of accuracy of the proposed nonlinear methods. Furthermore, both fixed and variable stepsize approaches are introduced wherein the latter improves the performance of the devised methods. The applicability of the methods for solving the system of IVPs is also described. When used to solve problems from physical and real‐life applications, including nonlinear logistic growth and stiff model for flame propagation, the proposed methods are found to have good results.
