“…(Doolan et al, 1980;Roos et al, 2008). Over the past two decades, to solve the SPBVP with DST, researchers have presented a large number of numerical techniques, such as Finite Difference Method (FDM) (Cen et al, 2017;Chandru and Shanti, 2015;Chandru et al, 2017;Clavero et al, 2017;Farrell et al, 2004a;Farrell et al, 2004b;Munyakazi, 2015;Shanthi et al, 2006), Finite Element Method (Chin and Krasny, 1983;Roos and Zarin, 2010), Boundary Value Technique (Chandru and Shanti, 2014;Shanti and Ramanujam, 2004) and spline approach (Kadalbajoo and Jha, 2012;Mane and Lodhi, 2023;Pathan and Vembu, 2017). A fourth-order convergent approach on a uniform mesh has been developed by Rashidinia et al (2010) using a NPS of degree five for SPBVP.…”
