On numerical solution of third-order boundary-value problems. (English) Zbl 0727.65069

The equation \(y'''(x)=f(x)y(x)+g(x),\) \(a<x<b,\) with suitable boundary conditions at the points a and b is discretized by a fourth order method in the following way:
1. There is formed an exponential fitted difference scheme based on the exact solution of \(y'''(x)=\alpha^ 3y(x),\) \(a<x<b,\)
2. The exponential terms are substituted by several Padé approximants.
Properties of fourth order convergence are mentioned. Two numerical examples confirm the theoretical order results.
