Take a guess at the derivative on the left edge. Comput the function
value at the right edge. Guess a new value and recompute... After your
search is reasonably wide, you could hone down on the lhs derivatives
that give the rhs boundary condition.
I am having a similar problem, but with PDEs and more variables...
