Numerical solution of Troesch's problem by simple shooting method

This paper describes a simple and efficient approach to the Troesch’s problem. In this approach, the hyperbolic nonlinear term in the equation is first converted into polynomial nonlinear terms by variable transformation, and a simple shooting method is then used directly to solve this transformed problem. The calculated results are in excellent agreement with those obtained by other analytical and numerical methods.
