According to Figure 3, the method will generate the numerical solution at three equally distance points simultaneously. The numerical solution at the point w(1), w(2) and w(3) in the computed block will be obtained by consuming the solutions at the previous block which are the points w(-3) through w(0). After completed the calculation of the numerical solutions in the current block, the process will proceeds for the next subsequent blocks until it reach the end of interval. For compute the solutions in the next block, the points w(0), w(1), w(2) and w(3) in the current block will be assigned as w(-3), w(-2), w(-1) and w(0) respectively.

Do the structure of these sentences arrange in a complicated manner? And how to make it simple? Thanks a lot and I really appreciate anyone who is willing to share their opinion.

I cannot do much to shorten and simplify it, but I think this is a little clearer with a few unnecessary words eliminated: As seen in Figure 3, the method generates numerical solutions at three equidistant points simultaneously. The solutions at points w(1), w(2) and w(3) in the current block are obtained by subsuming the solutions from the previous block , which are the points w(-3) through w(0). After calculating the solutions in the current block, the process advances to the next blocks until it reaches the end of the interval.

  • To compute the solutions in each block, the points w(0), w(1), w(2) and w(3) in the previous block are re-assigned as w(-3), w(-2), w(-1) and w(0) respectively.
  • I know 'consume' is wrong, but do you mean 'subsume'?

Actually, we use the value of the solution in the previous block for calculating the solution in the next block. That’s why I use consume. Is it correct?

Thanks sir..

No. I said it was incorrect before. 'Consume' means 'eat' or 'use up (decimate)'. Use 'utilize': '...are obtained by utilizing the solutions from the previous block'.
