Abstract

In this paper, the eigenfunction expansion method (EEM) is applied to find numerical solutions for variable-coefficient fourth-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with polynomial nonlinearity. The symmetry of the solution set for the resulting system of polynomial equations obtained from EEM of the problem is analyzed. The symmetric homotopy method is constructed to calculate all solutions of the discretization system for the problem. Due to the exploitation of symmetry, the number of computations is reduced. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the presented homotopy method.
