Abstract

We consider a collocation method for the approximation of the solution of the nonlinear two-point boundary value problem y«(x) = f(x, y(x)), y(a) = A, y(b) = B, using splines of degree m≥3. The method which we shall use leads to a system of recurrence relations which can be solved by Newton's method. By obtaining asymptotic error bounds we verify a conjecture of Khalifa & Eilbeck, i.e. splines of even degree can give even better solutions than splines of odd degree in certain cases
