Numerical methods for the solution of special sixth-order boundary-value problems

From MaRDI portal





A family of numerical methods is developed for the solution of special sixth-order boundary value problems \((d/dx)^6w=f(t,w)\), \(a<x<b\), where three boundary conditions are specified at each endpoint. Symmetric finite difference methods with second- to eighth-order convergence are contained in the family. Global extrapolation procedures on two and three grids, which increase the order of convergence, are outlined. Numerical experiments for a test problem suggest that global extrapolation makes its greatest gains when used with a large value of the step-size.
