Two-Point Boundary Value Problems and the Method of Adjoints.

Fay, Temple H.; Miller, H. Vincent

Mathematics and Computer Education, v24 n1 p52-61 Win 1990

Discusses a numerical technique called the method of adjoints, turning a linear two-point boundary value problem into an initial value problem. Described are steps for using the method in linear or nonlinear systems. Applies the technique to solve a simple pendulum problem. Lists 15 references. (YP)
