T. Benouaz et O. Arino, LEAST-SQUARE APPROXIMATION OF A NONLINEAR ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL-EQUATION, Computers & mathematics with applications, 31(8), 1996, pp. 69-84
The aim of this paper is to present an optimal approximation method fo
r a nonlinear ordinary differential equation based on the minimization
in the least square sense. The approximation is order two or higher i
n the vicinity of the origin. We provide a few examples.
