Two-point Taylor expansions and one-dimensional boundary value problems

Two-point Taylor expansions and one-dimensional boundary value problems

We consider second-order linear differential equations φ(x)y′′ + f(x)y′ + g(x)y = h(x) in the interval (−1, 1) with Dirichlet, Neumann or mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions. We consider φ(x), f(x), g(x) and h(x) analytic in a Cassini disk with foci at x = ±1 containing the interval (−1, 1). The two-point Taylor expansion of the solution y(x) at the extreme points ±1 is used to give a c...

Multi-point Taylor approximations in one-dimensional linear boundary value problems

We consider second order linear differential equations in a real interval I with mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary data. We consider a representation of its solution by a multi-point Taylor expansion. The number and location of the base points of that expansion are conveniently chosen to guarantee that the expansion is uniformly convergent ∀ x ∈ I. We propose several algorithms to approximat...

B-SPLINE METHOD FOR TWO-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this work the collocation method based on quartic B-spline is developed and applied to two-point boundary value problem in ordinary diferential equations. The error analysis and convergence of presented method is discussed. The method illustrated by two test examples which verify that the presented method is applicable and considerable accurate.

Two-point Taylor Expansions of Analytic Functions

In deriving uniform asymptotic expansions of a certain class of integrals one encounters the problem of expanding a function, that is analytic in some domain Ω of the complex plane, in two points. The first mention of the use of such expansions in asymptotics is given in [1], where Airy-type expansions are derived for integrals having two nearby (or coalescing) saddle points. This reference doe...
