We present a new geodesic-based method for geometry optimization in a basis of redundant internal coordinates. Our method updates the molecular geometry by following the geodesic generated by a displacement vector on the internal coordinate manifold, which dramatically reduces the number of steps required to reach convergence. Our method can be implemented in any existing optimization code, requiring only implementation of derivatives of the Wilson B-matrix and the ability to solve an ordinary differential equation.

In this paper we prove the boundedness of the solutions and their derivatives of the second order ordinary differential equation x ?+f(x) x ?+g(x)=u(t), under certain conditions on f,g and u. Our results are generalization of those given in [1].

Ordinary differential equation with periodical boundary value and small parameter multiplied in the highest derivative was considered. The solution of the problem has boundary layers, which is thin region in the neighborhood of the boundary of the domain. Firstly, the properties of boundary layer were discussed. The solution was decomposed into the smooth component and the singular component. The derivatives of the smooth component and the singular component were estimated. Secondly, mesh partition techniques were presented according to one transition point method and multi-transition points method. Thirdly numerical methods based on non-equidistant mesh partition were presented to solve the problem. Finally error estimations were given for both computational methods.

   Differential equation is a mathematical equation which contains the derivatives of a variable, such as the equation which represent physical quantities, In this paper  we introduced modified on the method which proposes a polynomial to solve the ordinary differential equation (ODEs) of second order and by using the evolutionary algorithm to find the coefficients of the propose a polynomial [1] . Our method propose a polynomial to solve the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of nth  order and partial differential equations(PDEs) of order two  by using the Genetic algorithm to find the coefficients of the propose a polynomial ,since Evolution Strategies (ESs) use  a string representation of the solution to some problem and attempt to evolve a good solution through a series of fitness –based evolutionary steps .unlike (GA)  ,an ES will typically not use a population of solution but instead will make a sequence of mutations of an individual solution ,using fitness as a guide[2] . A numerical example with good result show the accuracy of our method compared with some existing methods .and the best error of method it’s not much larger than the error in best of the numerical method solutions.
