The problem of determining the amount of reactant present in the steady state of a reaction‐diffusion problem with p th order reaction kinetics and slab geometry can be achieved by solving the boundary value problem\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \begin{array}{l} u''(x) = \phi ^2 u^p (x),\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm 0 < }x{\rm < 1} \\\\ u'(0) = 0{\rm }\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,u(1) = 1 \\ \end{array} $$\end{document}where u is a normalized (dimensionless) concentration, and ϕ is the Thiele modulus. By considering the related nonlinear eigenvalue problem\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \begin{array}{l} y''(x) = \lambda y^p (x),\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\rm 0 < }x{\rm < 1, }\,\,\,\,\,\,\,p{\rm < 0} \\\\ y'(0) = 0,{\rm }\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,y(1) - y'(1) = 0 \\ \end{array} $$\end{document}and constructing a sequence of functions that converges monotonically to y ( x ), solutions of the original boundary value problem are obtained for the negative exponent case.
