Theory and Modern Applications

Table 3 Pointwise absolute errors in the maximum norm, computed rates of convergence obtained by the proposed schemes, number of iterations k, and CPU time in second executed with various fractional orders versus the number of sub-intervals in Example 4.1. We set \(s_{0}=0.2\), \(\mathit{Tol}=10^{-5}\) for shooting with Newton’s method and \(s_{0}=0.2\), \(\mathit{Tol}=10^{-10}\) for Halley’s method
