Abstract
We report the analysis of plasma sheaths which occur between plasma and the wall. The plasma equation which governs sheaths has been already solved by Bissell et al. (1987), but the serious numerical errors occur in their results because the singularity exists in the equation. We consider the singularity and develop a method which regularizes the singularity, so that we confirm the errors are improved. We think this method is available for another calculation of the equation which includes the singularity
