Abstract In this article, we introduce a numerical scheme to solve a class of nonlinear two-point BVPs on a semi-infinite domain that arise in engineering applications and the physical sciences. The strategy is based on replacing the boundary condition at infinity by an asymptotic boundary condition (ABC) specified over a finite interval that approaches the given value at infinity. Then, the problem complimented with the resulting ABC is solved using a fourth order spline collocation approach constructed over uniform meshes on the truncated domain. A number of test examples are considered to confirm the accuracy, efficient More >
