Abstract

In this paper we use deficient discrete cubic spline to obtain approximate solution of a system of second order boundary value problems. It is shown that the method is of order 2 when a parameter takes a specific value. A well known numerical example is presented to illustrate our method as well as to compare the performance with other numerical methods proposed in the literature.
