Sinc-Collocation Method for Solving Linear and Nonlinear System of Second-Order Boundary Value Problems

Abstract

Sinc methods are now recognized as an efficient numerical method for problems whose solutions may have singularities, or infinite domains, or boundary layers. This work deals with the sinc-collocation method for solving linear and nonlinear system of second order differential equation. The method is then tested on linear and nonlinear examples and a comparison with B-spline method is made. It is shown that the sinc-collocation method yields better results.
