Abstract
This paper expands the application of reproducing kernel method to a class of third-order boundary value problems with mixed nonlinear boundary conditions. The analytical solution is represented in the form of series in the reproducing kernel space. The -term approximation is obtained and is proved to converge to the analytical solution. The numerical examples are given to demonstrate the computation efficiency of the presented method. Results obtained by the method indicate that the method is simple and effective.
