Abstract

A fourth-order uniform mesh difference scheme using quintic splines for solving a singularly-perturbed boundary-value problem of the form -εy"+p(x)y=f(x), p(x) 0, y(0) = α0, y(1) = α1, is derived. Our scheme leads to a pentadiagonal linear system. The convergence analysis is given and the method is shown to have fourth-order convergence. Numerical illustrations are given to confirm the theoretical analysis of our method.
