“…The Systems modeling technique used in this section has been employed previously by several authors to stud[y various aspects of the integrated renal fimction [1,4,7,8,[12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Finite-difference methods [12-14, 16, 20-23], quasilinearization [1,[24][25][26][27], invariant imbedding [27][28][29][30][31], and multiple shooting [4,17,32] have been suggested for the numerical Solution of the resulting boundary-value problems. A semidiscrete method combining collocation and shooting has been given in [19,33].…”
