Abstract

A numerical technique is presented for the solution of nonlinear system of second-order boundary value problems. This method uses the cubic B-spline scaling functions. The method consists of expanding the required approximate solution as the elements of cubic B-spline scaling function. Using the operational matrix of derivative, we reduce the problem to a set of algebraic equations. Numerical examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique. The method is easy to implement and produces very accurate results.
