Abstract
In this paper, a global single-step implicit block hybrid Nyström-type method (BHNTM) for solving nonlinear second-order initial-boundary value problems of Bratu-type is developed. The mathematical derivation of the proposed BHNTM is based on the interpolation and multistep collocation techniques with power series polynomials as the trial function. Unlike previous approaches, BHNTM is applied without linearization or restrictive assumptions. The basic properties of the proposed method, such as zero stability, consistency and convergence are analysed. The numerical results from three test problems demonstrate its superiority over existing methods which emphasize the effectiveness and reliability in numerical simulations. Furthermore, as the step size decreases as seen in the test problems, the error drastically reduces, indicating BHNTM's precision. These findings underscore BHNTM's significance in numerical methods for solving differential equations, offering a more precise and dependable approach for addressing complex problems.
