Use the Nonlinear Finite-Difference method with h = 0.5 to approximate the solution to the boundary-value problem y'' = -(y')^2 - y + ln x, 1 <= x <= 2, y(1) = 0, y(2) = ln 2. Compare your results to the actual solution y = ln x.

Consider the boundary value problem y''(x) + y'(x) = x, y(0) = 1, y'(1) = 1, where y' = dy/dx and y'' = d^2y/dx^2. Use central differences with the grid spacing h = 1/2 to set up a system of linear equations for the computation of the values for y(1/2) and y(1). Give the answer in the form A y(1/2) + y(1) = B, where A is a 2 Ă— 2 matrix and B is a 2 Ă— 1 column vector. DO NOT attempt to solve the system.
