โฆ Synopsis
The differential equation f ' " + i f " + ~kf '2 = 0 (where dashes denote differentiation with respect to the independent variable 7/) subject to the boundary conditions f(0) = 0, f'(oo) = 0 and either f'(0) = 1 or f"(0) = -1 is considered. It is shown that by using p -= f ' as dependent variable and q , = C -f (where C =f(oo)) as independent variable and then expanding in powers of q~, a very good approximation to the solution can be obtained using only a few terms in the expansion.

## By a new approach, we prove in this paper that there exists Xo E (-l/2,0) such that the following third-order nonlinear boundary value problem for f(n): which arises in boundary layer theory in fluid mechanics, has a solution at least for any fixed X E (Xo, 0).

We use the Tau Method to approximate Buchstab's function which is defined by the differential-delay equation (uw(u))' = w(u -1) for u >/ 2 and w(u) = 1/u for 1 ~< u ~< 2. This equation has been treated by other authors using different numerical techniques. The errors in the Tau Method case are found
