Abstract
Consider the numerical solution of a boundary-value problem for a differential equation of order m using collocation of a polynomial spline of degree n ≧ m on a uniform mesh of size h. We describe several collocation schemes which differ only in the boundary collocation conditions and which include a “natural” spline collocation scheme. Taking account of derived asymptotic error bounds most of which are, roughly speaking, of O(hn12 m+1), we discuss the computational effectiveness of the various schemes.
