The block hybrid collocation method with three off-step points is proposed for the direct solution of fourth order ordinary differential equations. The interpolation and collocation techniques are applied on basic polynomial to generate the main and additional methods. These methods are implemented in block form to obtain the approximation at seven points simultaneously. Numerical experiments are conducted to illustrate the efficiency of the method. The method is also applied to solve the fourth order problem from ship dynamics.

The purpose of this paper is to produce an efficient zero-stable numerical method with the same order of accuracy as that of the main starting values (predictors) for direct solution of fourth-order differential equations without reducing it to a system of first-order equations. The method of collocation of the differential system arising from the approximate solution to the problem is adopted using the power series as a basis function. The method is consistent, symmetric, and of optimal order . The main predictor for the method is also consistent, symmetric, zero-stable, and of optimal order .
