Abstract

A sixth-order numerical scheme is developed for general nonlinear fifth-order two point boundary-value problems. The standard sextic spline for the solution of fifth order two point boundary-value problems gives only O(h 2) accuracy and leads to non-optimal approximations. In order to derive higher orders of accuracy, high order perturbations of the problem are generated and applied to construct the numerical algorithm. O(h 6) global error estimates obtained for these problems. The convergence properties of the method is studied. This scheme has been applied to the system of nonlinear fifth order two-point boundary value problem too. Numerical results are given to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method computationally. Results from the numerical experiments, verify the theoretical behavior of the orders of convergence.
