Two-step modified collocation methods with structured coefficients matrix for Ordinary Differential Equations

In the context of the numerical integration of initial value problems based onordinary differential equations, it is the purpose of this paper to introduce a modification of two step collocation methods, in order to obtain coefficient matrices with a structured shape, to get an efficient implementation. Our aim is the development of new collocation-based methods having high order of convergence and strong stability properties (e.g. A-stability and L-stability). We present the constructive technique, discuss the order of convergence and the stability properties of the resulting methods and provide some numerical results confirming the theoretical expectations.
