A large variety of new methods are
being developed for fast and efficient solutions of nonlinear boundary value
problems. Some of these methods are,
Adomian decomposition (ADM), differential transform (DTM), least squares
vector machines (LSSVMM), and multiple variational iteration (MVIM). A natural question arises as to how
efficient and simple to use these newer methods are compared to classical
methods. One of the simplest and widely
applicable classical methods is the collocation method. The overall performance of collocation
method and the newer methods are compared on a number of problems, which were
previously used to benchmark the newer methods. It is concluded that, at least for the
problems considered, the collocation method performs as successfully as the
newer methods.
