TWO-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

AUTOMATIC CONTROL AND ANALYSIS, SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION AND SYSTEM ANALYSIS FOR COMPLEX DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS ARE ENGINEERING TASKS WHICH CAN BE GREATLY ENHANCED THROUGH AUTOMATIVE INTERACTIVE (COMPUTER AIDED) DESIGN METHODS. SUCH TECHNIQUES ARE LARGELY UNAVAILABLE IN AEROSPACE, MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING FIELDS WHERE SIGNI- FICANT RESOURCES ARE STILL EXPENDED TO DEVELOP SPECIALIZED NON-PORTABLE SOFTWARE USING CUMBERSOME ARCHITECTURES AND RUDIMENTARY QUESTION AND REPLY SYNTAX. THIS PROJECT DEV- ELOPS A SOPHISTICATED INTERACTIVE DESIGN SYSTEM USING A POWERFUL INTERPRETER, INTEGRATED GRAPHICS PACKAGE, AND STATE-OF-THE-ART NUMERICAL ANALYSIS ROUTINES AND MACRO LEVEL CODES TO SOLVE TWO-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS. THE SOFTWARE IS BASED IN ANSI 77 FORTRAN TO ALLOW WIDE- SPREAD USE IN THE ENGINEERING COMMUNITY.
