Abstract

In this paper, we apply quartic B-splines properly to study a new approximation method for numerical solutions and numerical derivatives for a class of non-linear fifth-order boundary value problems. Their analytic solutions and any-order derivatives are well approximated with \({O(h^{6})}\) errors. Numerical tests are performed and numerical results show that our new method is very practical and effective.
