Abstract

A two-point boundary value problem with a positive parameter Q arising in the study of surface-tension--induced flows of a liquid metal or semiconductor is studied. On the basis of the upper--lower solution method and Schauder's fixed-point theorem, it is proved that when $0\le Q \le 13.213$, the problem admits a solution. This improves a recent result where $0\le Q < 1$.
