A Finite Difference Technique for Numerical Solution of the Boundary Value Problem in ODEs of Order Three

Abstract

In the article, we study the approximate numerical solution to the boundary value problem in ordinary differential equations. In the present article, a third-order two-point boundary value problem is considered for discussion. We developed a second order accurate finite difference method for the approximate numerical solution of the considered problem. We took a special boundary condition; we did not find this boundary condition in the literature. We have discussed the standard convergence analysis of the proposed method. Numerical experiments on linear, nonlinear, and obstacle problems approve the order of accuracy and efficiency of the method.
