The properties of the solutions of the differential equation y ″ = y 2 − x 2 − c subject to the condition that y is bounded for all finite x discussed. The arguments of Holmes and Spence have been used by Ockendon, Ockendon, and Johnson to show that there are no solutions if c is large and negative. Numerically we find that solutions exist provided c is greater than a critical value c * and estimate this value to be c * = −…. As x tends to + ∞ the solutions are asymptotic to . The relation between A + and ϕ + are found analytically as A + → ∞. This problem arises as a connection problem in the theory of resonant oscillations of water waves.
