Explicit eighth order methods for the numerical integration of initial-value problems with periodic or oscillating solutions

A family of explicit two-step hybrid methods of order eight for numerical integration of second order initial-value problems with periodic or oscillating solutions is developed in this paper. Numerical and theoretical results obtained for several well-known problems show the efficiency of the new family of methods.
