In this paper we are concerned with the solutions of the differential equation f ′′′+ ff ′′+g(f ′) = 0 on [0,∞), satisfying the boundary conditions f(0) = α, f ′(0) = β ≥ 0, f ′(∞) = λ, and where g is some given continuous function. This general boundary value problem includes the Falkner-Skan case, and can be applied, for example, to free or mixed convection in porous medium, or flow adjacent ...
