SynopsisBoundary value problems associated with y″ = f(x, y, y′) for 0 ≦ x ≦ 1 are considered. Using techniques based on the shooting method, conditions are given on f(x, y,y′) which guarantee the existence on [0, 1] of solutions of some initial value problems. Working within the class of such solutions, conditions are then given on nonlinear boundary conditions of the form g(y(0), y′(0)) = 0, h(y(0), y′(0), y(1), y′(1)) = 0 which guarantee the existence of a unique solution of the resulting boundary value problem.
