Abstract

The solution is obtained and validated by an existence and uniqueness theorem for the following nonlinear boundary value problem \[ \frac{d}{dx}(1+\delta y+\gamma y^{2})^{n}\frac{dy}{dx}]+2x\frac{dy}{dx}=0,\,\,\,x>0,\,\,y(0)=0,\,\,\,y(\infty)=1, \] which was proposed in 1974 by [1] to represent a Stefan problem with a nonlinear temperature-dependent thermal conductivity on the semi-infinite line (0;1). The modified error function of two parameters $\varphi_{\delta,\gamma}$ is introduced to represent the solution of the problem above, and some properties of the function are established. This generalizes the results obtained in [3, 4].
