I have a third order, non-linear, homogeneous, constant coefficient ODE that I need to solve but have no idea how to do it. To make matters worse, one of the boundary conditions are indefinite. Here's the equation,
y''' + y*y'' - y'^2 + 1 = 0
and the BC's
y(0) = 0
y'(0) = 0
y'([tex]\infty[/tex]) = 1
Does this equation have a general or analytical (non numerical) solution? I have access to Maple, just not at the moment, and would like to try and solve it analytically without computer first. Any suggestions on how to solve it? Can it be solved?
