Quasi-collocation based on CCC-Schoenberg operators and collocation methods

Abstract: We propose a collocation and quasi-collocation method for solving second order boundary value problems $L_2 y=f$, in which the differential operator $L_2$ can be represented in the product formulation, aiming mostly on singular and singularly perturbed boundary value problems. Seeking an approximating Canonical Complete Chebyshev spline $s$ by a collocation method leads to demand that $L_2s$ interpolates the function $f$. On the other hand, in quasi-collocation method we require that $L_2 s$ is equal to an approximation of $f$ by the Schoenberg operator. We offer the calculation of both methods based on the Green's function, and give their error bounds.
