| Abstract: | A type of parallel shooting method is proposed for the solution of nonlinear multipoint boundary value problems. It extends the usual quasilinearization method and a previous shooting method developed for such problems, and reduces to usual multiple shooting techniques for two point boundary value problems. The effectiveness of the method for stiff problems is illustrated by an application to the problem of finding periodic solutions of a restricted three body problem with given Jacobian constant and unknown period. |
