  • Abstract
    In this paper we show that a nonlinear boundary-value problem describing Blasius viscous flow of a kind of non-Newtonian fluid has an infinite number of explicit analytic solutions. These solutions are rather sensitive to the second-order derivative at the boundary, and the difference of the second derivatives of two obviously different solutions might be less than 10 - 1000 . Therefore, it seems impossible to find out all of these solutions by means of current numerical methods. Thus, this nonlinear problem might become a challenge to current numerical techniques.
