Ok, I wasn't expecting that. The system is supposed to have a solution for which h[L] == 0 is satisfied. Maybe there is something wrong with the approximation I am using. I would like to know how is that you can implement the shooting method.
I will write a more complete post with the approximation I am using and some other methods I am using to solve the problem for which I am getting of course more issues. Is the bad thing of not being an expert in Mathematica :
