Abstract
The similarity solution of laminar boundary layer driven by the stretching surface boundary and pressure gradient, each proportional to the same power law of the downstream coordinate, based on composite reference velocity (sum of the velocities of stretching boundary and free stream) has been formulated by single set of equations, containing two parameters: β measuring the stretch rate of the moving boundary, and ϵ the ratio of free stream velocity to composite reference velocity. The closed form exact and asymptotic solutions in special cases, approximate integral solution and general numerical solutions have been obtained. For β>0 and 0⩽ ϵ⩽1 solutions are unique. For β<0 solutions are dual for 0< ϵ< ϵ 0( β), unique solution for ϵ=0 and ϵ= ϵ 0( β) and no solution exists ϵ> ϵ 0( β).
