Second order non linear differential

I have to solve the following equation: y''(s) + cos(y) = 0
BC: y(0) = pi/2 and y(L/4) = 0
I actually have no idea what function is the correct one in this case or even if MatLab can solve this, do you have any suggestion?

Solving a second-order nonlinear differential equation analytically can be challenging, and often such equations do not have closed-form solutions. However, MATLAB can be used to solve this numerically.
You can use the ode45 function, which is a versatile solver for ordinary differential equations.
Check this script which will help you:
function solve_nonlinear_ode
% Initial conditions
y0 = [0; 0]; % y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 0
% Time span
tspan = [0 10];
% Solve the system
[t, y] = ode45(@nonlinear_ode, tspan, y0);
% Plot the solution
figure;
plot(t, y(:,1));
xlabel('s');
ylabel('y(s)');
title('Solution of y''''(s) + cos(y) = 0');
grid on;
end
function dydt = nonlinear_ode(~, y)
dydt = zeros(2, 1); % Initialize the output
dydt(1) = y(2); % y' = v
dydt(2) = -cos(y(1)); % v' = -cos(y)
end
I hope this helps.

Hi Manikanta,
Thank you for your clarification. The OP has updated the description of the problem, but there does not appear to be an edit history available for tracking the changes.
However, your efforts to be helpful are commendable. It is important to remain motivated, as some individuals may not be adept at framing their problems when asking questions for the first time. However, that does not necessarily imply that their questions are simply obvious homework assignments for students.
