The present paper proposes a mathematical method to numerically treat a class of third-order linear Boundary Value Problems (BVPs). This method is based on the combination of the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and, the modified shooting method. A complete derivation of the proposed method has been provided, in addition to its numerical implementation and, validation via the utilization of the Runge-Kutta method and, other existing methods. The method has been applied to diverse test problems and turned out to perform remarkably. Lastly, the simulated numerical results have been graphically illustrated and, also supported by some absolute error comparison tables.

ASYMPTOTIC ERROR EXPANSIONS OF QUADRATIC SPLINE COLLOCATION SOLUTIONS FOR TWO-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this paper, we consider the following problem:The quadratic spline collocation, with uniform mesh and the mid-knot points are taken as the collocation points for this problem is considered. With some assumptions, we have proved that the solution of the quadratic spline collocation for the nonlinear problem can be written as a series expansions in integer powers of the mesh-size parameter. This gives us a construction method for using Richardson’s extrapolation. When we have a set of approximate solution with different mesh-size parameter a solution with high accuracy can he obtained by Richardson’s extrapolation.

Newton-EGMSOR Methods for Solution of Second Order Two-Point Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems

The convergence results of block iterative schemes from the EG （Explicit Group） family have been shown to be one of efficient iterative methods in solving any linear systems generated from approximation equations. Apart from block iterative methods, the formulation of the MSOR （Modified Successive Over-Relaxation） method known as SOR method with red-black ordering strategy by using two accelerated parameters, ω and ω′, has also improved the convergence rate of the standard SOR method. Due to the effectiveness of these iterative methods, the primary goal of this paper is to examine the performance of the EG family without or with accelerated parameters in solving second order two-point nonlinear boundary value problems. In this work, the second order two-point nonlinear boundary value problems need to be discretized by using the second order central difference scheme in constructing a nonlinear finite difference approximation equation. Then this approximation equation leads to a nonlinear system. As well known that to linearize nonlinear systems, the Newton method has been proposed to transform the original system into the form of linear system. In addition to that, the basic formulation and implementation of 2 and 4-point EG iterative methods based on GS （Gauss-Seidel）, SOR and MSOR approaches, namely EGGS, EGSOR and EGMSOR respectively are also presented. Then, combinations between the EG family and Newton scheme are indicated as EGGS-Newton, EGSOR-Newton and EGMSOR-Newton methods respectively. For comparison purpose, several numerical experiments of three problems are conducted in examining the effectiveness of tested methods. Finally, it can be concluded that the 4-point EGMSOR-Newton method is more superior in accelerating the convergence rate compared with the tested methods.

Solvability of a class of second-order quasilinear boundary value problems

The second-order quasilinear boundary value problems are considered when the nonlinear term is singular and the limit growth function at the infinite exists. With the introduction of the height function of the nonlinear term on a bounded set and the consideration of the integration of the height function, the existence of the solution is proven. The existence theorem shows that the problem has a solution if the integration of the limit growth function has an appropriate value.

Estimation of Parameters of Boundary Value Problems for Linear Ordinary Differential Equations with Uncertain Data

In this paper we construct optimal, in certain sense, estimates of values of linear functionals on solutions to two-point boundary value problems (BVPs) for systems of linear first-order ordinary differential equations from observations which are linear transformations of the same solutions perturbed by additive random noises. It is assumed here that right-hand sides of equations and boundary data as well as statistical characteristics of random noises in observations are not known and belong to certain given sets in corresponding functional spaces. This leads to the necessity of introducing minimax statement of an estimation problem when optimal estimates are defined as linear, with respect to observations, estimates for which the maximum of mean square error of estimation taken over the above-mentioned sets attains minimal value. Such estimates are called minimax mean square or guaranteed estimates. We establish that the minimax mean square estimates are expressed via solutions of some systems of differential equations of special type and determine estimation errors.

The concept of supersolutions and subsolutions for nonlinear algebraic systems are introduced. By taking such solutions as initial values, the above two iterations provide monotone sequences, which fend to the solutions of Numerov scheme at geometric convergence rates. The global existence and uniqueness of solution of Numerov scheme are discussed also. The numerical results show the advantages of these two iterations.
