Abstract

Motivated by the problem of steady-state heat conduction in a rod whose heat flux at one end is determined by observation of the temperature and heat flux at some point ${\xi}$ in the interior of the rod, we consider the problem y"(x)=a(x, y(x))y(x) (0$${\lim_{x{\rightarrow}{\infty}}}y(x)=0,\;y^{\prime}(0)=g(y({\xi}),\;y^{\prime}({\xi}))$$ for some fixed ${\xi}{\in}(0,{\infty})$. We establish conditions guaranteeing existence and uniqueness for this problem on the semi-infinite interval [0,${\infty}$).
