  • Abstract
    To aid in solving numerically a two-point boundary problem, a transformation of variables is proposed. This transformation is useful when an analog computer is being used to solve the differential equations, for it keeps the computations on scale and reduces the sensitivity of terminal conditions to initial conditions. Its performance in the presence of computational error appears satisfactory.
