The proposed method is coded using a variable order step size (VOS) algorithm. The advantage of the two-point block method is its programmability to implement parallel programming techniques. Combination of the block method and VOS algorithm allows for a significant reduction of computation cost in comparison to conventional methods. With an added advantage of the recursive relationship between integration coefficients of different orders, the proposed two-point block method provides efficient computation without loss of accuracy. � 2018 Author(s).en-USBackward differenceBlock methodRiccati differential equationsArticle197420071
