Abstract
In the articles published on the Blasius problem [1–3] the solutions are investigated either by some numerical method or by joining the series solution for small values of the argument with the asymptotic expansion for large values. In the present article we give a new method of representing the solutions for different boundary-value problems associated with the Blasius equation. The properties of the obtained solution are analyzed.
