Title
A quadratic spline collocation method for the Dirichlet biharmonic problem
Abstract
A new method based on quadratic spline collocation is formulated for the solution of the Dirichlet biharmonic problem on the unit square rewritten as a coupled system of two second-order partial differential equations. This method involves the solution of an auxiliary biharmonic problem using fast Fourier transforms and the solution of a nonsymmetric Schur complement system using preconditioned BICGSTAB, at a total cost of $N^{2} \log N$ on an N × N uniform partition of the unit square. The results of numerical experiments demonstrate the optimality of the global accuracy of the method and also superconvergence results, in particular, third-order accuracy in the $L^{\infty }$ norm of the solution and its fourth-order accuracy at the partition nodes and the collocation points.
