Application of global methods in parallel shooting

A new divide and conquer method is proposed. It employs a coarse grid discretization like multiple shooting does, but solves the local problems in a "BVP-way," i.e., by some global method. A sophisticated error control is developed to combine local and global convergence of the Newton updating. An implementation based on using the collocation code COLNEW is briefly discussed and a number of examples are given to illustrate the success of the method, in particular for singular perturbation problems.
