According to the relationship between truncation error and step size of two implicit second-order-derivative multistep formulas based on Hermite interpolation polynomial, a variable-order and variable-step-size numerical method for solving differential equations is designed. The stability properties of the formulas are discussed and the stability regions are analyzed. The deduced methods are applied to a simulation problem. The results show that the numerical method can satisfy calculation accuracy, reduce the number of calculation steps and accelerate calculation speed.
