We consider nonlinear boundary value problems with multiple solutions. A method is proposed for the computation of such solutions which depends crucially on known a priori qualitative information about the behavior of the solutions. The method is a two-stage method where the second stage is a shooting method and initial values of the shooting parameters are found in a first stage which approximates the boundary value problem with a discrete approximation. Both nonsingular and singular problems are considered.
Keywords: shooting, Multiple solutions, nonlinear boundary value problems., iterative methods, qualitative behavior.
