Non-linear differential equation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving non-linear differential equations with Robin boundary conditions using MATLAB in a numerical analysis context. The user initially sought a reliable program to verify their function's accuracy, noting that WolframAlpha does not support Robin boundary conditions. Ultimately, they found a solution to their equation but expressed a desire for a trustworthy program for future use.

Hi I'm writing a function (matlab) in my numerical analysis class that descripes in a certain way a non-linear differential equations with Robin BC that I will then feed to a program that uses finite difference method to solve it. It seems to work but I wanted to look for a site or program that could solve some example equations numerically so I can be sure that it's working correctly. WolframAlpha doesn't seem to handle Robin BC and by googling I only found programs that don't work on mac.

thanks

Never mind I found a solution to the equation, although a trustworthy program would be useful.
