Abstract

This paper aims at finding high-order convergent numerical approach to solve fourth-order linear boundary value problems (BVPs). By employing the good property of reproducing kernel functions (RKFs), a new collocation technique is proposed. The present approach can give highly accurate numerical solutions to fourth-order BVPs. Some numerical experiments are performed and compared with other approaches to indicate the validity of the proposed technique.
