Solution of a contact lens problem
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 September 2008
Abstract
In this paper we study the question of existence and uniqueness of solutions to the equation
which occurs in the modelling of hard contact lenses. Using ‘shooting’ arguments, we show that, depending on the parameters in the problem, there are cases where there is precisely one solution, others where there is more than one, and others where there are none.
