Numerical solution of special 12th-order boundary value problems using differential transform method

Abstract

In this paper, a differential transform method (DTM) is used to find the numerical solution of a special 12th-order boundary value problems with two point boundary conditions. The analysis is accompanied by testing differential transform method both on linear and nonlinear problems from the literature [Wazwaz AM. Approximate solutions to boundary value problems of higher-order by the modified decomposition method. Comput Math Appl 2000:40;679–91; Siddiqi SS, Ghazala Akram. Solutions of 12th order boundary value problems using non-polynomial spline technique. Appl Math Comput 2007. doi:10.1016/j.amc.2007.10.015; Siddiqi SS, Twizell EH. Spline solutions of linear 12th-order boundary value problems. J Comput Appl Math 1997;78:371–90]. Numerical experiments and comparison with existing methods are performed to demonstrate reliability and efficiency of the proposed method.
