Numerical Solution of Arbitrary-Order Ordinary Differential and Integro-Differential Equations with Separated Boundary Conditions Using Optimal Control Technique
In this paper, a new method for solving arbitrary order ordinary differential equations and integro-differential equations of Fredholm and Volterra kind is presented. In the proposed method, these equations with separated boundary conditions are converted to a parametric optimization problem subject to algebraic constraints. Finally, control and state variables will be approximated by a Chebychev series. In this method, a new idea has been used, which offers us the ability of applying the mentioned method for almost all kinds of ordinary differential and integro-differential equations with different types of boundary conditions. The accuracy and efficiency of the proposed numerical technique have been illustrated by solving some test problems.
