Abstract

We consider the analysis and numerical solution of a forward-backward boundary value problem.We provide some motivation, prove existence and uniqueness in a functionclass especially geared to the problem at hand, provide various energyestimates, prove a priori error estimates for the Galerkin method,and show the results of some numerical computations.
