The performance of each of these polynomials as basis function in the trial solution was then compared. The results obtained from three examples showed that Chebyshev polynomial is the best in term of performance, and closely followed by Hermites polynomial, which was followed by Legendre poly-nomial while the least in performance is Laguerre polynomial.enCollocationnumerical treatmentDifferential EquationsChebyshev PolynomialsHermites polynomialArticle
