Hi! Mathematica doesn't like to numerically solve the border value problem a T"[x] + b T[x]^4 + ... == 0, T[-hheight] == Troom, T[hheight] == Troom This equation describes the equilibrium temperature distribution (with thermal conductivity and radiation) in one dimension, where the ends are fixed to room (or any other) temperature. What can I do to get a solution?
