On multistep interval methods for solving the initial value problem

In this paper we shortly complete our previous considerations on interval versions of Adams multistep methods [M. Jankowska, A. Marciniak, Implicit interval multistep methods for solving the initial value problem, Comput. Meth. Sci. Technol. 8(1) (2002) 17–30; M. Jankowska, A. Marciniak, On explicit interval methods of Adams–Bashforth type, Comput. Meth. Sci. Technol. 8(2) (2002) 46–57; A. Marciniak, Implicit interval methods for solving the initial value problem, Numerical Algorithms 37 (2004) 241–251]. It appears that there exist two families of implicit interval methods of this kind. More considerations are dealt with two new kinds of interval multistep methods based on conventional well-known Nyström and Milne–Simpson methods. For these new interval methods we prove that the exact solution of the initial value problem belongs to the intervals obtained. Moreover, we present some estimations of the widths of interval solutions. Some conclusions bring this paper to the end.
