Abstract

A modification of the well-known continuation (or homotopy) method for actual computation is worked out. Compared with the classical method, the modification seems to be a more reliable device for supplying useful initial data for shooting techniques. It is shown that computing time may be significantly reduced in the numerical solution of sensitive realistic two-point boundary value problems.
