Abstract
Summary: An initial value method is introduced in this paper for the solution of the two-point non-linear ordinary differential equations resulting from an analysis of the MHD boundary-layer flow originally treated by Greenspan and Carrier. By using this method, the iteration process is eliminated. The method is seen to be applicable to the solution of similar two-point boundary value problems where certain physical parameters appear either in the differential equation or in the boundary conditions and solutions for a range of the parameter are sought.Keywords
