These ABBDF methods are of order four, five and six. The benefit of the ABBDF methods is the computation time in the computation of solutions. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the advantage of implementing adaptive order selection in a single code. © 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. %Z cited By 7
