Has someone implemented the shooting method in scipy ?
Is this the infamous shooting(self,in_foot) method?
I doubt it, as that method is implemented in every large code-base!

The main steps of the shooting method are - Transform the given boundary value problem into an initial value problem with estimated parameters - Adjust the parameters iteratively to reproduce the given boundary values A nice application of the shooting method is given in a recent paper by Coomer et al. "A non-linear eigenvalue problem associated with inextensible whirling strings" Journal of Sound and Vibration, Vol. 239 Issue 5 pp. 969-982 (2001) Nils
