Abstract

We consider the numerical solution of two-point boundary value problem by collocation method using cubic spline. We derive asymptotic expansions of the errors which are a posteriori determined with little additional computation. The applications of these asymtotic expansions to a posteriori improvement of the approximate solution and adaptive mesh selection strategy (chopping procedure) are discussed. Some numerical results which closely correspond with the predicted theory are given.
