We present an algorithm of finding numerical solutions of pulsar equation. The problem of finding the solutions was reduced to finding expansion coefficients of the source term of the equation in a base of orthogo- nal functions defined on the unit interval by minimizing a multi-variable mismatch function defined on the light cylinder. We applied the algorithm to Scharlemann & Wagoner boundary conditions by which a smooth solu- tion is reconstructed that by construction passes success- fully the Gruzinov's test of the source function exponent.
