Comparing numerical methods for solving fourth-order boundary value problems. (English) Zbl 1119.65066

Summary: We present a numerical comparison between differential transform method and the Adomian decomposition method for solving fourth-order boundary value problems. Three examples are given. The numerical results reveal that the differential transform method is very efficient and accurate.
