ABSTRACT

The second Painlevé equation is considered in the framework of the electrostatic probe theory for the case of emission of positive ions from the probe surface. This allowed the direct numerical integration of the equation at free parameter values ν > 1/2. The plots of various numerical solutions are presented.

KEY WORDS: electric probe, the second Painlevé, equation, numerical solution
