Boundary Value Problems

Boundary value problem solvers for ordinary differential equations

Boundary value problems (BVPs) are ordinary differential equations that are subject to boundary conditions. Unlike initial value problems, a BVP can have a finite solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. The initial guess of the solution is an integral part of solving a BVP, and the quality of the guess can be critical for the solver performance or even for a successful computation. The bvp4c and bvp5c solvers work on boundary value problems that have two-point boundary conditions, multipoint conditions, singularities in the solutions, or unknown parameters. For more information, see Solving Boundary Value Problems.
