Boundary value problems for general second order equations and similarity solutions to the Rayleigh problem
The paper uses the idea of upper and lower solutions to establish the existence of solutions to two-point boundary value problems for a class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The equations considered arise in the study of the p-Laplacian, diffusion theory, fluid mechanics and of a gas in a porous medium. The existence of similarity solutions to a certain Rayleigh problem is also considered.
