Abstract

In this article, we describe a method to solve differential equations involved in dynamical nonlinear problems with C k spline functions and their algebraic properties. C k spline functions generate k time continuous and derivable approximations. These functions seem to be very efficient in several applied nonlinear differential problems. The computation of functions involved in nonlinear dynamical problem uses the algebraic methods known as Gröbner Bases, which are more robust, more accurate and often more efficient than the purely numerical methods. An example on solving nonlinear differential equations using these methods is presented.
