Abstract
In a recent paper, Sukhanov derived a new method for transforming a nonlinear two-point boundary-value problem into an initial-value problem. Sukhanov's equations involve only the solution of ordinary differential equations and not partial differential equations. An earlier paper by the authors presented their interpretation of Sukhanov's method. An alternative method is presented in this paper. Numerical results are given.
