Numerical solutions for the linear and nonlinear singular boundary value problems using Laguerre wavelets

Abstract

In this paper, a collocation method based on Laguerre wavelets is proposed for the numerical solutions of linear and nonlinear singular boundary value problems. Laguerre wavelet expansions together with operational matrix of integration are used to convert the problems into systems of algebraic equations which can be efficiently solved by suitable solvers. Illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of this technique, and the results have been compared with the exact solutions.
