Abstract:

This paper develops fourth order discretizations to the two-point boundary value problem \[ \begin {array}{*{20}{c}} {{y^{(2)}}(t) = f(t,y(t),{y^{(1)}}(t)),} \\ {{\alpha _0}y(0) - {\beta _0}{y^{(1)}}(0) = {\delta _0},\quad {\alpha _1}y(1) + {\beta _1}{y^{(1)}}(1) = {\delta _1}.} \\ \end {array} \] These discretizations have the desirable properties that they are tridiagonal and of "positive type".
