Arturo,

I looked into your problem a bit more. NDSolve should be able to solve 
BVP's, but I tried a shooting method instead with the condition h[0]==0, 
replaced with h[L]==alpha, and I varied alpha a bit to see if I could 
find a solution for which h[0]=0. I couldn't. I found a minimum, but it 
was not close to zero. Is it possible that your problem does not have a 
solution for the conditions you stated? I don't know what the physics of 
the problem is.

Kevin
