The method is applied to three distinct types of problems non-stiff, oscillatory and stiff previously investigated by other researchers. Numerical results obtained using the proposed method are compared with those from existing methods in literature. The results reveal that the block algorithm consistently produces numerical solutions that closely align with the analytical solutions across all problem types. Graphical comparisons further demonstrate the superiority of the new method in terms of accuracy and stability. This confirms the method’s effectiveness and versatility in solving higher-order ODEs directly, making it a valuable tool in computational mathematics.}, number={2}
