In this paper, we present the absolute stability of the existing 2-point implicit block multistep step methods of step number k = 3 and k = 5 and solving special second order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The methods are then trigonometrically fitted so that they are suitable for solving highly oscillatory problems arising from the special second order ODEs. Their explicit counterparts are also trigonometrically fitted so that in the implementation the methods can act as a predictor-corrector pairs. The numerical results based on the integration over a large interval are given to show the performance of the proposed methods. From the numerical results we can conclude that the new trigonometrically-fitted methods are superior in terms of accuracy and execution time, compared to the existing methods in the scientific literature when used for solving problems which are oscillatory in nature.
