TY - JOUR T1 - Chebyshev Polynomial Solutions of Certain Second Order Non-Linear Differential Equations AU - Kesan, Cenk PY - 2011 DA - December JF - Gazi University Journal of Science PB - Gazi University WT - DergiPark SN - 2147-1762 SP - 739 EP - 745 VL - 24 IS - 4 LA - en AB - The purpose of this study is to give a Chebyshev polynomial approximation for the solution of second-order non-linear differential equations with variable coefficients. For this purpose, Chebyshev matrix method is introduced. This method is based on taking the truncated Chebyshev expansions of the functions in the non-linear differential equations. Hence, the result matrix equation can be solved and the unknown Chebyshev coefficients can be found approximately. Additionally, the mentioned method is illustrated by two examples.                 Key Words: Non-linear differential equations, Chebyshev-               matrix method, Approximate solution of               non-linear                 ordinary differential equations.   KW - Non-linear differential equations KW - Chebyshev-matrix method KW - Approximate solution of non-linear CR - Günhan, B.C., “Approximate solutions of non-linear differential and Integral equations by Chebyshev method”, Dissertation, Dokuz Eylül University, (2001).
