Abstract:
Shooting methods are employed to obtain solutions of the three-point boundary value problem for the second order equation, $y'' =f(x,y,y’),$ $y(x_1)=y_1, \ y(x_{3}) - y(x_2)=y_2,$ where $f: (a,b) \times \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R$ is continuous, $a < x_1 < x_2 < x_3 < b,$ and $y_1,y_2 \in \mathbb R,$ and conditions are imposed implying that solutions of such problems are unique, when they exist.References
