Abstract

This paper deals with a class of Bratu’s type, Troesch’s and nonlocal elliptic boundary value problems. Due to strong nonlinearity and presence of parameter δ, it is very difficult to solve these problems. Here we solve these classes of important equations using the Chebyshev spectral collocation method. We have provided the convergence of the proposed approximate method. The trueness of the method is shown by applying it to some illustrative examples. Results are compared with some known methods to highlight its neglectable error and high accuracy.

Keywords: Bratu’s type problems; Chebyshev polynomials; heat transfer processes; spectral collocation method; Troesch’s problems
