In this paper, we present a fourth-order accurate and a seventh-order accurate, one-step compact difference methods. These methods can be used to solve initial or boundaryvalue problems which can be modeled by a first-order linear system of differential equations. It is then shown in detail how these methods can be used to solve vibration problems of onedimensional continuous systems. Natural frequencies of a cantilever beam in transverse vibrations are computed and the results are compared to analytical ones to prove the high accuracy and efficiency of both methods. A comparison was also made to a finite element solution and the results have shown that both compact-difference methods yield more accurate values even with a reduced number of intervals.
