Here 0 r1 r0 p g Y p ac ag are constants having the following properties p g Y are strictly positive and 0 n 2 - ag ac n 2. Necessary or sufficient conditions are given in terms of p for the existence of concave solutions of the above nonlinear boundary value problem NLBVP . Numerical illustration is given. This kind of results is useful in the experiment planning and technology design of single crystal rod growth from the melt by edge-defined film-fed growth EFG method. With this aim this study was undertaken. Copyright 2008 S. Balint and A. M. Balint.

Introduction The free surface of the static meniscus in single crystal rod growth by EFG method in hydrostatic approximation is described by the Laplace capillary equation 1 2 1 1 . . Y R rJ p. Here Y is the melt surface tension p is the melt density g is the gravity acceleration R1 R2 are the main radii
