In this paper, we apply the homotopy perturbation method for solving the sixth-order boundary value problems by reformulating them as an equivalent system of integral equations. This equivalent formulation is obtained by using a suitable transformation. The analytical results of the integral equations have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Several ex...

This paper investigates the existence of positive solutions for a sixth-order m-point boundary value problem with three variable parameters. Many problems in the theory of elastic stability can be handled by the method of multi-point problems. By using the fixed point theorem and operator spectral theorem, we give a new existence result.

A finite element method involving collocation method with quintic B-splines as basis functions has been developed to solve tenth order boundary value problems. The fifth order, sixth order, seventh order, eighth order, ninth order and tenth order derivatives for the dependent variable are approximated by the central differences of fourth order derivatives. The basis functions are redefined into...

in this paper, a numerical method is developed for solving a linear sixth order boundaryvalue problem (6vbp ) by using the hyperbolic uniform spline of order 3 (lower order). thereis proved to be first-order convergent. numerical results confirm the order of convergencepredicted by the analysis.

Abstract. Second-order boundary value problems are solved with exponentially-fltted Numerov methods. In order to attribute a value to the free parameter in such a method, we look at the leading term of the local truncation error. By solving the problem in two phases, a value for this parameter can be found such that the tuned method behaves like a sixth order method. Furthermore, guidelines to ...
