Abstract

Based on Haar wavelet a new numerical method for the solution of a class of nth-order boundary-value problems (BVPs) with nonlocal boundary conditions is proposed. This new method is an extension of the Haar wavelet method (Siraj-ul-Islam et al. in Math Comput Model 50:1577---1590, 2010; Int J Therm Sci 50:686---697, 2011) from BVPs with local boundary conditions to BVPs with a class of nonlocal boundary conditions. A major advantage of the proposed method is that it is applicable to both linear and nonlinear BVPs. The method is tested on BVPs of third- and fourth-order. The numerical results are compared with an existing method in the literature and analytical solutions. The numerical experiments demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method.
