A Variable Order Finite Difference Method for Nonlinear Multipoint Boundary Value Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
An adaptive finite difference method for first order nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations subject to multipoint nonlinear boundary conditions is presented. The method is based on a discretization studied earlier by H. B. Keller. Variable order is provided through deferred corrections, while a built-in natural asymptotic estimator is used to automatically refine the mesh in order to achieve a required tolerance. Extensive numerical experimentation and a FORTRAN program are included.

Chebyshev finite difference method for a two−point boundary value problems with applications to chemical reactor theory
In this paper, a Chebyshev finite difference method has been proposed in order to solve nonlinear two-point boundary value problems for second order nonlinear differential equations. A problem arising from chemical reactor theory is then considered. The approach consists of reducing the problem to a set of algebraic equations. This method can be regarded as a non-uniform finite difference schem...

In this paper, we consider a non-self-adjoint, singular, nonlinear fourth order boundary value problem which arises in the theory of epitaxial growth. It is possible to reduce the fourth order equation to a singular boundary value problem of second order given by w''-1/r w'=w^2/(2r^2 )+1/2 λ r^2. The problem depends on the parameter λ and admits multiple solutions. Therefore, it is difficult to...
