Abstract

Even though, there a number of environmental models that seek to evaluate arbitrary even (odd) number of nodes in climate change problems, in this research, we also present a method to obtain the trigonometric interpolation polynomial through polynomial interpolation. A class of formulae for the numerical solution of Initial Value Problems (IVP), in Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) is considered. This class of integrators is imbedded with the capacity of determining the nature and location of catastrophe in a system of IVP that is non-autonomous in nature. The study firstly presents the method to compute a trig-polynomial interpolation, with a specific focus on the coefficients of the trigonometric polynomial, also the derivation of odd numerical integrators. Subsequently, discussions on the numerical solutions of the problem using the study approach is presented by implementing the numerical integrators to non-autonomous initial value problems. Lastly, performance of the proposed methods is assessed using analytical numerical simulations. Results from the proposed methods are compared with observed data and found compare favorably well.
