摘要
An efficient method for determining an initial guess to an iterative solution to the boundary value problem y '' + (k/x)y' + delta e(y) = 0 solved subject to y'(0) = 0 and y(1) = 0 is proposed. This initial guess overcomes the instability that occurs at the boundary y'(0) = 0 for k <= 1. When the iterative method becomes singular we can conclude that the maximum value of the critical parameter delta has been determined.
