Abstract

In this paper, a Laguerre method is presented to solve singularly perturbated two-point boundary value problems. By means of the matrix relations of the Laguerre polynomials and their derivatives, original problem is transformed into a matrix equation. Later, we use collocation points in the matrix equation and thus the considered problem is reduced to a system of linear algebraic equations. The solution of this system gives the coefficients of the desired approximate solution. Also, an error estimation based on the residual function is introduced for the method. The Laguerre polynomial solution is improved by using this error estimation. Finally, error estimation and residual improvement are illustrated by examples and comparisons are given with other methods.
