Hi,

I have a nonlinear equation: 

-A + B y[x]^-1 + C y'[x] + D y''[x]=0

with boundary conditions:

y[inf]=B
y'[inf]0;

Trying to solve with NDSolve from x=0 to x=100 and get (300=infinity):

NDSolve::ndnum: Encountered non-numerical value for a derivative at x
== \
300.`.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Dimitris
