Methods for integral equations are used to derive upper and lower pointwise bounds for the solution of a nonlinear boundary value problem arising in the steady-state finite cable model of cell membranes. Test calculations are performed to illustrate the results and the accuracy achieved is significantly better than that obtained previously by other methods.
