Finite analytic numerical method for two-point boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations. (English) Zbl 0708.65074

The authors consider a method for solving boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations which is called the “finite analytic numerical method”. The basic idea is the incorporation of the local analytic solution of the governing equation on short subintervals in the numerical solution of the problem.
Of course the equation has to be simplified before. The technique is developed for both linear and nonlinear second-order differential equations. Several examples are solved and the numerical results are compared with results of finite difference approximations and shooting algorithms. It turns out that difference schemes are specializations of the finite analytic and that the accuracies attainable are comparable.
