Numerical methods for the solution of ordinary differential equations are based on polynomial interpolation. In 1952, Brock and Murray have suggested exponentials for the case that the solution is known to be of exponential type. In 1961, Gautschi came up with the idea of using information on the frequency of a solution to modify linear multistep methods by allowing the coefficients to depend on the frequency. Thus the methods integrate exactly appropriate trigonometric polynomials. This was done for both first order systems and second order initial value problems. Gautschi concluded that “the error reduction is not very substantial unless” the frequency estimate is close enough. As a result, no other work was done in this direction until 1984 when Neta and Ford showed that “Nyström’s and Milne-Simpson’s type methods for systems of first order initial value problems are not sensitive to changes in frequency”. This opened the flood gates and since then there have been many papers on the subject.

The class of A-stable symmetric one-step Hermite–Obreshkov (HO) methods introduced by F. Loscalzo in 1968 for dealing with initial value problems is analyzed. Such schemes have the peculiarity of admitting a multiple knot spline extension collocating the differential equation at the mesh points. As a new result, it is shown that these maximal order schemes are conjugate symplectic, which is a benefit when the methods have to be applied to Hamiltonian problems. Furthermore, a new efficient approach for the computation of the spline extension is introduced, adopting the same strategy developed for the BS linear multistep methods. The performances of the schemes are tested in particular on some Hamiltonian benchmarks and compared with those of the Gauss–Runge–Kutta schemes and Euler–Maclaurin formulas of the same order.
