Thanks for the reply, my bcs are y(-1)=0, y(1)=0, y'(-1)=beta1, y'(1)=(beta1^2+4A)^(1/2) and y must also satisfy (integral y dx, x=-1..1)=2/3. I have a third order ode, 2 unknowns and 5 conditions so I have enough for a solution. This does mean y''' is singular at x=-1, 1 but that is...

Hello, I am not familiar with the book, but I believe non-dimensionalization literally gets rid of all dimensional quantities. So, you might write something like x=Lx* where L is a typical length scale in the x direction and resplacing all your x' s by x* 's where x* is a non dimesional...

Hello, this is my first post so I am not familiar with how to write maths in here. I have a third order ode of the form y'''+A/y=0 where y=y(x) (A is just a constant) with well defined boundary conditions. I believe there is no analytic solution to an ode of this form, but I can (by...
