Spectral Monic Chebyshev Approximation for Higher Order Differential Equations

Abstract

This paper is focused on performing a new method for solving linear and nonlinear higher-order boundary value problems (HBVPs). This direct numerical method based on spectral method. The trial function of this method is the Monic Chebyshev polynomials (MCPs). This method was relying on derivative of MCPs which explicit in the series expansion. The advantage of this method is solved HBVPs without transforming it to a system of lower-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This method supported by examples of HBVPs in wide application. The mentioned examples showed that the proposed method is efficient and accurate.
