On a new quasi-linearization method for systems of nonlinear boundary value problems

We propose a new quasi-linearization technique for solving systems of nonlinear equations. The method finds recursive formulae for higher order deformation equations which are then solved using the Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The implementation of the method is demonstrated by solving the coupled nonlinear equations that govern the injection of a non-Newtonian fluid through the sides of a vertical channel. The equations are also solved numerically and comparison made with the results in the literature. The linearization method is found to be computationally efficient and accurate with a rapidly convergent series solution.
