چکیده
A numerical technique is presented for the solution of Falkner-Skan equation. The nonlinear ordinary differential equation is solved using Chebyshev cardinal functions. The method have been derived by first truncating the semi-infinite physical domain of the problem to a finite domain and expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of Chebyshev cardinal functions. Using the operational matrix of derivative, we reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. From the computational viewpoint, the solutions obtained by this method is in excellent agreement with those obtained by previous works and efficient to use. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 65D10; 65N35; 74G15.
