A first order ODE problem

Fix $a>0$ and $b>0$. Does the following ODE \begin{equation} G(x)^2+2axG(x)G'(x)+2aG'(x)(x-b)=0 \tag{*} \end{equation} have a solution, say, $F(x)$, that satisfies $F(x)>0$ and $F'(x)<0$ on $(b,\inft …

A problem involving the Error Function

I am looking at the following function on the domain $x\geq 0$: $$F(x)=(x+a)e^{x^2}(1-\mathrm{erf}(x))-\frac{b}{\sqrt\pi},$$ where $a>0$, $0<b<1$ are parameters. From plotting this function for diff …
