The convergence analysis of the methods has been discussed and shown that the given approximations are better than collocation and finite difference methods. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the applications of these methods, and to compare the computed results with other known methods.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {3}, number = {4}, year = {2009}, pages = {241 - 247}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/1642}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/28}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 28, 2009}, }
