A deficient spline function approximation for boundary layer flow

Abstract

In this paper a spline approximation of deficiency 3 and a step of length 3h method is proposed to approximate the solution of the problem and its derivatives. The Falkner‐ Skan equation has been solved through the use of the shooting technique for handling the problem when the conditions imposed are of boundary‐value rather than an initial‐value type for different values of its parameters. Comparisons are made between the data resulting from the proposed method and those obtained by others.
