Abstract
In this paper, we used the Legendre operational differential matrix method based on the Tau method to find the approximate analytical solutions to the initial value problems and boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations. This method allows the solution of the ordinary differential equation to be computed in the form of an infinite series in which the components can be easily calculated. We introduced a comparison between the approximate solution that we computed and the exact solution of the selected problem, as we found the absolute error. According to the numerical results, the series of solutions we found are accurate and very close to the exact analytical solutions.
