Assignment 2

Use the 5 iterations of the Spectral Quasi-Linearisation Method (SQLM) to solve the following nonlinear
BVPs subject to the given boundary conditions and compute the error of the infinity norm using N =
5, 10, 20, 30, 50.

1.
y ′′ + 6y − 2y 3 = −2x3 , x ∈ [1, 2]

16
The exact solution is y(x) = x2 +
x
3.
y ′′ = y 3 − yy ′ , x ∈ [1, 2]

2 3
1
The exact solution is y(x) =
x+1
4.
y ′′ = −e−2y , x ∈ [1, 2]
y(1) = 0, y(2) = ln 2

The exact solution is y(x) = ln x

5.
y ′′ = y ′ cos x − y ln y, x ∈ [0, π/2]
y(0) = 1, y(π/2) = e

The exact solution is y(x) = esin x
