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 …

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 …

Root problem involving error function

I ran into this problem in my research: Let $y_0$ be the root of $$-(y+a)e^{y^2}\mathit{erfc}(y)+\frac{b}{\sqrt{\pi}}=0$$ on interval $[-a,\infty)$, while $a>0$ and $0<b<1$. How can I show $$y_0\ …

Prove monotonicity of a system of difference equations

I have the following system of difference equations. Fix any $(\alpha,K,p)\in\mathbb R_+\times\mathbb R_+\times (0,1)$. Let $u_0=1, \nu_0=0$. The sequence $(a_t,w_t,\nu_t,u_t)_{t\geq 1}$ is defined as …
