Hi,

I have an ode like this

ODE:=(diff(T(x), x, x))+P*(S+a*(1-exp(-L*x))/L)*(diff(T(x), x))=0;

bcs:=T(0)=1,T(infinit)=0;

where P, S, L a, are all constants.

let assume that 

z=P/L^2*exp(-L*x);

subing z into the ode, we can have

ode1:=diff(T(z), z$2)+(1+z*a-P)*(diff(T(z), z)) = 0;

bcs1:=T(P/L^2)=1,T(0)=0;

Is it possible to find a closed form solution (T(x) in a compact form)?
