 Problems- Weighted Residual method
1. Consider the differential equation for the
problem as ;
;
0 x  1 with the boundary conditions y (0) =
0 and y(1) = 0. Find the solution of the problem
using Galerkin’s method, point collocation
method, sub domain method and least square
method. Use one coefficient trial function as
y=a1x(1-x3).
Compare the solutions obtained using weighted
residual method with exact solution.

physical problem expressed as

; 0 x  10

with the boundary conditions y (0) = 0 and

y(10) = 0 using point collocation method,
Galerkin’s method, least square method and
sub domain method.
