Notes:
We consider in this paper the numerical solution of the Falkner-Skan differential equation, modelling under some similarity assumptions the boundary layer equation. We look for the extremal solution of this third order differential equation. The methods we use are basically the Newton method with a shooting process, which is coupled with a continuation method: they allow us to follow the solution arcs which contain regular and turning point solutions.
