This study is intended to evaluate numerically the solution of second order boundary value problems (BVPs) subject to mixed boundary conditions using a direct method. The mixed set of boundary conditions is subsumed under Type 1: mixed boundary conditions of Dirichlet and Robin and Type 2: mixed boundary conditions of Robin and Neumann. The direct integration procedure will compute the solutions at two values concurrently within a block with a fixed step size. The shooting technique adapted to the derivative free Steffensen method is employed as the iterative strategy to generate the new initial estimates. Four numerical examples are given to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of the developed numerical scheme of order six. The computational comparison indicates that the proposed method gives favorably competitive performance compared to the existing method in terms of accuracy, total function calls, and time saving.

The two point boundary value problems (BVPs) occur in a wide variety of applications especially in sciences such as chemistry and biology. In this paper, we propose two point direct method of order six for solving nonlinear two point boundary value problems directly. This method is presented in a simple form of Adams Mouton type and determines the approximate solution at two point simultaneously. The method will be implemented using constant step size via shooting technique adapted with three-step iterative method. Numerical results are given to compare the efficiency of the proposed method with the Runge-Kutta and bvp4c method.

Abstract We investigate the basic boundary value problems of the connected theory of elastothermodiffusion for three-dimensional domains bounded by several closed surfaces when the same boundary conditions are fulfilled on every separate boundary surface, but these conditions differ on different groups of surfaces. Using the results of papers [Kupradze, Gegelia, Basheleishvili, and Burchuladze, Three-dimensional problems of the mathematical theory of elasticity and thermoelasticity, North-Holland Publishing Company, 1979, Russian original, 1976–Mikhlin, Multi-dimensional singular integrals and integral equations, 1962], we prove theorems on the existence and uniqueness of the classical solutions of these problems.
