The numerical solution of sixth-order boundary value problems by the modified decomposition method

A fast and accurate algorithm is developed for the solution of sixth-order boundary value problems (BVPs) with two-point boundary conditions. A modified form of the Adomian decomposition method is applied to construct the numerical solution for such problems. The scheme is tested on one linear and two nonlinear problems. The results demonstrate reliability and efficiency of the algorithm developed.
