In this paper, numerical solutions of singular initial value problems are obtained by the Haar wavelet collocation method (HWCM). The HWCM is a numerical method for solving integral equations, ordinary and partial differential equations. To show the efficiency of the HWCM, some examples are presented. This method provides a fast convergent series of easily computable components. The errors of HWCM are also computed. Through this analysis, the solution is found on the coarse grid points and then converging toward higher accuracy by increasing the level of the Haar wavelet. Comparisons with exact and existing numerical methods (adomian decomposition method (ADM) & variational iteration method (VIM)) solutions show that the HWCM is a powerful numerical method for the solution of the linear and non-linear singular initial value problems. The Haar wavelet adaptive grid method (HWAGM) based solutions show the excellent performance for the proposed problems.

The paper presents single-term Haar wavelet series (STHWS) approach to the solution of nonlinear stiff differential equations arising in nonlinear dynamics. The properties of STHWS are given. The method of implementation is discussed. Numerical solutions of some model equations are investigated for their stiffness and stability and solutions are obtained to demonstrate the suitability and applicability of the method. The results in the form of block-pulse and discrete solutions are given for typical nonlinear stiff systems. As compared with the TR BDF2 method of Shampine and Gill's method, the STHWS turns out to be more effective in its ability to solve systems ranging from mildly to highly stiff equations and is free from stability constraints.
