Problem with solving a nonlinear boundary value problem in Maple software
The problem is related to swelling induced bifurcation in thermally activated hydrogels. At a special temperature near the phase transition, where the variation is relatively great, Maple stops calculating with initial Newton iteration convergence error. How can I solve the problem?
Your response will be greatly appreciated
