ON THE CONCAVE SOLUTIONS OF THE BLASIUS EQUATION
Z. BELHACHMI, B. BRIGHI and K. TAOUS
Abstract. 
The Blasius equation is an autonomous, third order, nonlinear differential equation, which results from an appropriate substitution in boundary layer equations. We study in details the concave solutions of initial value problems involving this equation, and apply our results to solve a related boundary value problem
