Application of Differential Transformation Method to Boundary Value Problems of Order Seven and Eight

This paper presents the use of differential transformation method (DTM), an approximating technique for solving linear higher order boundary value problems. Using DTM, approximate solutions of order seven and eight boundary value problems were developed. Approximate results are given for some examples to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method. The results from this method are compared with the exact solutions.


Introduction
Higher order boundary value problems arise in the study of hydrodynamics and hydro magnetic stability, astronomy, fluid dynamics, astrophysics, engineering and applied physics.The boundary value problems of higher order have been investigated due to their mathematical importance and the potential for applications in diversified applied sciences [1] [2] [3].
Explicit weighting coefficients are formulated to implement the Generalized Differential Quadrature Rule (GDQR) for eighth-order differential equations.[4] [5] used Nonic spline and Non polynomial spline technique for the numerical solution of eighth-order linear special case boundary value problems.The methods presented in [6] have also been proven to be second order convergent.American Journal of Computational Mathematics boundary value problem.[10] [11] [12] proposed a relatively new analytical technique, the variational iteration decomposition method (VIDM), for solving the eighth-order boundary value problems.[13] [14] [15] presented the solution of eighth order boundary value problem using octic spline.[16] presented the solutions of eighth order boundary value problems using Adomian decomposition method.
A great deal of interest has been focused on the applications of differential transformation method (DTM) to solve various scientific models [13].In this paper, we are interested in the application of differential transformation method to solve higher order boundary value problems of order seven and eight.The concept of differential transformation method was first introduced by Zhou in 1986, and it was applied to solve linear and non-linear initial value problems in electric circuit analysis.The method can be used to evaluate the approximating solution by the finite Taylor series and by the iteration procedure describes by the transformed equations obtained from the original equation using the operations of differential transformation [11] [12].

The Differential Transformation Method (DTM)
