Generalized quasilinearization method and higher order of convergence for second-order boundary value problems
Boundary Value Problems volume 2006, Article number: 25715 (2006)
Abstract
The method of generalized quasilinearization for second-order boundary value problems has been extended when the forcing function is the sum of-hyperconvex and-hyperconcave functions. We develop two sequences under suitable conditions which converge to the unique solution of the boundary value problem. Furthermore, the convergence is of order. Finally, we provide numerical examples to show the application of the generalized quasilinearization method developed here for second-order boundary value problems.
