In the present paper, we introduce a non-polynomial quadratic spline method for solving third-order boundary value problems. Third-order singularly perturbed boundary value problems occur frequently in many areas of applied sciences such as solid mechanics, quantum mechanics, chemical reactor theory, Newtonian fluid mechanics, optimal control, convection-diffusion processes, hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, etc. These problems have various important applications in fluid dynamics. The procedure involves a reduction of a third-order partial differential equation to a first-order ordinary differential equation. Truncation errors are given. The unconditional stability of the method is analysed by the Von-Neumann stability analysis. The developed method is tested with an illustrated example, and the results are compared with other methods from the literature, which shows the applicability and feasibility of the presented method. Furthermore, a graphical comparison between analytical and approximate solutions is also shown for the illustrated example.

This paper deals with the boundary control problem of the unforced generalized Burgers-Huxley equation with high order nonlinearity when the spatial domain is [0, 1]. We show that this type of equations are globally exponential stable in L 2 [0, 1] under zero Dirichlet boundary conditions. We use an adaptive nonlinear boundary controller to show the convergence of the solution to the trivial solution and to show that it achieves global asymptotic stability in time. We introduce numerical simulation for the controlled equation using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) in order to illustrate the performance of the controller.
