AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a MATLAB coding issue related to solving a differential equation using the Shooting Method. The equation in question is d^2T/dx^2 - 1*10^-7(T+273)^4 + 4(150-T) = 0, with boundary conditions T(0) = 200 and T(0.5) = 100. The user seeks guidance on implementing the ODE23 function and finding consistent initial conditions using FZERO in MATLAB. There is a suggestion to review the Shooting Method for better understanding, along with a reminder that such homework-related queries are more suitable for the Engineering and Computing Science homework forum.

need help please having a problem with shooting mthd

i am having a problem coding a MATLAB code for the given eqn

d^2T/dx^2 - 1*10^-7(T+273)^4+4(150-T)=0
BC T(0)=200 and T(0.5)=100

the differential equation should be solved by
the function ODE23, and the consistent initial condition should be found by the
function FZERO in Matlab. I have to reduce the problem to a root finding
problem somehow, but i just can't do it.
please help me

Welcome to PhysicsForums!

I myself am hazy on the Shooting Method, but you may want to start here (or in your notes / textbook):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_method

...And for future reference, homework questions like this more properly belong in the Engineering and Computing Science homework forum.
