Hello, in order to obtain a meaningful result, you have to specify the right number of boundary conditions. As you explained in your posting, you need 3 boundary conditions. This doesn't only apply to solving the system by the shooting method, but applies to every possible method, also to solving it analytically. If you don't have the right number of BCs, you haven't specified your system correctly, so you should definitively ask your advisor. Good luck Alois
