In this paper we derive the formulation of one dimensional linear and nonlinear system of second order boundary value problems (BVPs) for the pair of functions using Galerkin weighted residual method. Here we use Bernstein and Legendre polynomials as basis functions. The proposed method is tested on several examples and reasonable accuracy is found. Finally, the approximate solutions are compared with the exact solutions and also with the solutions of the existing methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
