A new method for solving singular fourth-order boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions (Q535414)

For the class of singular fourth order differential equations of the form \[ u^{4}(x)+ \sum^{4}_{i=1}\frac{p_{i}(x)u^{(i-1)}(x)}{x^{\alpha_{i}}(1-x)^{\beta_{i}}}=f(x), \quad x\in (0,1) \] with mixed boundary conditions is constructed an algorithm giving its analytical exact solution. This solution is obtained using the Gram-Schmidt orthonormalization process of special functions \(\psi_{i}(x)\) and set of points \({x_{i}}\) dense in \([0,1]\)
