Abstract

In this paper we consider difference schemes for two-point BVPs for systems of first order nonlinear ODEs. It was shown in former papers of the authors that starting from the two-point exact difference scheme (EDS) one can derive a so-called truncated difference scheme (TDS) which a priori possesses an arbitrary given order of accuracy m . Here, we demonstrate that the TDS can be reduced to the numerical solution of some IVPs defined on each segment [ x j − 1 , x j ] of the grid by an arbitrary IVP-solver of the order m . Using the difference schemes of the orders of accuracy m and m + 1 we develop an a posteriori error estimator for the numerical solution of the order m . An algorithm for the automatic generation of a grid which guarantees the prescribed accuracy is presented. It is based on embedded Runge–Kutta methods. Some numerical results confirming the efficiency of the algorithm are given.
