B-spline collocation for solution of two-point boundary value problems (Q629490): Difference between revisions

The numerical solution based on B-spline collocation for boundary value problems for nonlinear differential equations up to sixth order is studied. By using the sextic B-spline collocation at the midpoints of a uniform mesh, a numerical method of order 6 is proposed. Then, an error analysis and the convergence of the method are investigated in detail. Several numerical examples, including numerical solutions for some stiff problems, are given for illustrating the efficiency of the B-spline collocation method.
