Abstract
In this paper, a numerical method is suggested for solving general a nonlinear third order boundary value problem (BVP). In this method, the given nonlinear third-order BVP will be transformed into two third-order initial value problems (IVPs), then spline function approximations are applied to both two IVP for finding the Spline solution and its derivatives up to third order of the given BVP. The study shows that the spline solution of the BVP is existent and unique, and the convergence order of the spline method is fourth with a local truncation error . The presented algorithm is designed for solving a general BVP, where it is applied to some types of nonlinear third-order differential equations. Comparisons of the results obtained by spline method with other methods show the efficiency and highly accurate of the proposed method.
