Abstract

A method for obtaining very accurate approximations of the flux values at particular points of the domain for the two-point boundary value problem is analyzed. The method is based on the use of a Galerkin solution of the problem. The error in the flux is reduced from $\mathcal{O}(h^r )$ to $\mathcal{O}(h^{2r} )$.
