Abstract

The paper describes the set of all solutions of the singular initial problems (p(t)u^')^'=p(t)f(u),u(0)=B,u^'(0)=0, on the half-line [0,~). Here B0 on (0,~), f(L)=0 for some L0 and xf(x)0. By means of this result, the existence of a strictly increasing solution of this problem satisfying u(~)=L is proved under some additional assumptions. In particular cases this homoclinic solution determines an increasing mass density in centrally symmetric gas bubbles which are surrounded by an external liquid with density L.
