In this paper a numerical algorithm, based on the decomposition technique, is presented for solving a class of nonlinear boundary value problems. The method is implemented for well-known examples, including Troesch's and Bratu's problems which have been extensively studied. The scheme is shown to be

✦ Synopsis
The O(h 4) finite-difference scheme for the second derivative u"(x) leads to a coherent pentadiagonal matrix which is factorized into two tridiagonal matrices. This factorization is used to derive an optimal algorithm for solving a linear system of equations with the pentadiagonal matrix. As an application, a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations is approximated by an O(h 4) convergent finite-difference scheme. This scheme is solved by the implicit iterative method applying the algorithm at each iteration. A Mathematica module designed for the purpose of testing and using the method is attached.

In this paper, we apply the homotopy perturbation method for solving the fifth-order boundary value problems. The analytical results of the equations have been obtained in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and implem
A method is proposed which allows to efficiently treat elliptic problems on unbounded domains in two and three spatial dimensions in which one is only interested in obtaining accurate solutions at the domain boundary. The method is an extension of the optimal grid approach for elliptic problems, bas
