| Abstract: Evolution
Operator Method ([14],[16]) is used either as an analytic method or as
a nonlinear
one-step numerical method for solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE). When this method is applied to an initial value problem, it requires the computation of the dynamical coefficients, spectral coeffients, eigenvalues lN,k , and residues RN,k. The computation of the dynamical coefficients and especially spectral coefficients for an arbitrary ODE system is rather difficult, which is explained in [15]. In [16] and [1] some techniques are developed to calculate these coefficients for the systems with polynomial right hand side functions.In this study, the order of convergence of Evolution Operator Method is obtained. Also the stability characteristics of the method are given for some special values of approximation order.A recursive formulatioin of the dynamical and spectral coefficients for ODE systems whose right hand-side functions are not only polynomials but in the form of products of polynomials and exponential functions is developed. A new algorithm for the calculation of lN,k and RN,k is presented. This new algorithm is compared with the previously published algorithms. The numerical applications of the algorithms presented here and previously published ones are given for the calculation of the dynamical coefficients, spectral coefficients, lN,k and RN,k. For testing the algorithms mentioned above, the Lotka-Volterra system is used. Key words: Evolution Operator Method, Numerical methods for ODE systems, Order of convergence, Stability.
