In this paper, an efficient wavelet-based numerical scheme is presented for the solution of fourth-order singularly perturbed boundary value problems with discontinuous data. The fourth-order derivative of the solution function is expanded in Haar series and then integrated to get the approximations for the lower order derivatives of the solution function. The convergence of the proposed method is analyzed. The analysis shows that the error bound is inversely proportional to the wavelet resolution. The method is applied on three test problems to check its performance. The proposed method is computationally fast, cheap, and reliable, even considering low-order wavelet resolutions. Another important advantage of the proposed method is that it can be easily extended to similar classes of problems with a variety of boundary conditions.
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.
