Similarity solutions of a MHD boundary-layer flow past a continuous moving surface

This note deals with a theoretical and numerical analysis of multiple similarity solutions of the two-dimensional MHD boundary-layer flow over a permeable surface, with a power law stretching velocity, in the presence of a magnetic field B applied normally to the surface. We have taken the free stream velocity to vary as xm, where x is the coordinate along the plate measured from the leading edge and m is a constant. The magnetic field B   is assumed to be proportional to xm-12. The problem depends on the power law exponent and the magnetic parameter M or the Stewart number. It is shown, under certain circumstance, that the problem has an infinite number of solutions.
