Abstract

The Sinc-Galerkin method is presented for solving nonlinear two-point boundary value problems for second order differential equations. A problem arising from chemical reactor theory is then considered. Properties of the Sinc-Galerkin method are utilized to reduce the computation of nonlinear two-point boundary value problems to some algebraic equations. The method is computationally attractive and applications are demonstrated through an illustrative example.
