Solution of a Fourth Order Singularly Perturbed Boundary Value Problem Using Quintic Spline

Singularly perturbed boundary value problem can be solved using various techniques. The solution of the following fourth order self adjoint singularly perturbed boundary value problem is approximated using quintic spline Ly = − y(4) + p(x)y = f(x), p(x) ≥ p > 0, y(a) = α0, y(b) = α1, y(1)(a) = α2, y(1)(b) = α3, } or Ly = − y(4) + p(x)y = f(x), p(x) ≥ p > 0, y(a) = α0, y(b) = α1, y(2)(a) = α4, y(2)(b) = α5, } Convergence analysis of the method confirms second order convergence. The numerical description of the method is shown by two examples.
