The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of rational Chebyshev (RC) functions for solving higher-order linear ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients on a semi-infinite domain using new rational Chebyshev collocation points.  This method transforms the higher-order linear ordinary differential equations and the given conditions to matrix equations with unknown rational Chebyshev coefficients. These matrices together with the collocation method are utilized to reduce the solution of higher-order ordinary differential equations to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The solution is obtained in terms of RC series. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method. The obtained numerical results are compared with others existing methods and the exact solution where it shown to be very attractive and maintains better accuracy.

AbstractAn efficient condition is established ensuring that on any interval of length ω, any nontrivial solution of the equation ${u^{\prime\prime}=p(t)u}$ has at most one zero. Based on this result, the unique solvability of a periodic boundary value problem is studied.
