In this article, the authors treat some nonlinear two-point boundary value problems for certain ordinary differential equations having singular coefficients and compare traditional finite differences, patch bases and collocation as computational methods.
Abstract
The authors treat some nonlinear two-point boundary value problems for certain ordinary differential equations having singular coefficients. Typically these problems arise when reducing partial to ordinary differential equations by physical symmetry. Traditional finite differences, patch bases and collocation are all developed and compared as computational methods.

A collocation solver for mixed order systems of boundary value problems

TL;DR: Implementation of a spline collocation method for solving boundary value problems for mixed order systems of ordinary differential equations is discussed and the resulting general purpose code, COLSYS, is tested on a number of examples to demonstrate its stability, efficiency and flexibility.

Difference Methods for Boundary Value Problems with a Singularity of the First Kind

TL;DR: In this paper, the application of different difference schemes (box, trapezoidal, Euler and backward Euler) to numerical solution of boundary value problems for nonlinear first order systems of ordinary differential equations with a singularity of the first kind is examined.
