Numerical method for singularly perturbed fourth order ordinary differential equations of convection-diffusion type

In this paper, we have proposed a numerical method for singularly perturbed  fourth order ordinary differential equations of convection-diffusion type. The numerical method combines boundary value technique, asymptotic expansion approximation, shooting method and  finite difference method. In order to get a numerical solution for the derivative of the solution, the given interval is divided  in...

Linearization of fourth-order ordinary differential equations by point transformations

We present here the solution of the problem on linearization of fourthorder equations by means of point transformations. We show that all fourth-order equations that are linearizable by point transformations are contained in the class of equations which is linear in the third-order derivative. We provide the linearization test and describe the procedure for obtaining the linearizing transformat...

INVESTIGATION OF BOUNDARY LAYERS IN A SINGULAR PERTURBATION PROBLEM INCLUDING A 4TH ORDER ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we investigate a singular perturbation problem including a fourth order O.D.E. with general linear boundary conditions. Firstly, we obtain the necessary conditions of solution of O.D.E. by making use of fundamental solution, then by compatibility of these conditions with boundary conditions, we determine that, for given perturbation problem, whether boundary layer is formed or not.

A Note on Four-Dimensional Symmetry Algebras and Fourth-Order Ordinary Differential Equations

Order Ordinary Differential Equations

The DI methods for directly solving a system ofa general higher order ODEs are discussed. The convergence of the constant stepsize and constant order formulation of the DI methods is proven first before the convergencefor the variable order and stepsize case.
