Finite-difference methods for the solution of special eighth-order boundary-value problems. (English) Zbl 0820.65046

A special eighth-order boundary value problem \(w^{(8)} = f(x,w)\), \(w^{(2i)} (a) = A_{2i}\), \(w^{(2i)} (b) = B_{2i}\), \(i = 0,1,2,3\) is considered. This problem is solved by the finite difference method. Methods with second-, fourth-, sixth- and eighth-order of convergence are described. The problem is resolved by transforming the original problem into a system of four second-order problems, with the familiar three- point finite difference method. For a concrete problem the numerical results are compared.
