We propose two new non-uniform mesh three point arithmetic average discretization strategy of order two and three, to solve non-linear ordinary differential equation y" =f(x,y,y'), a < x < b and the estimates of first-order derivative y', where y = y(x), subject to the essential boundary conditions y(a) = A, y(b) = B. Both methods are compact and directly applicable to singular problems. There is
... [Show full abstract] no need to discuss any special scheme for the singular problems. Error analysis of a proposed method is discussed. Numerical experiments are performed to study the convergence behaviors and efficiency of the proposed methods. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
