I have the solution (a potential) for a nonlinear differential equation found at r=0. How can I calculate the asymptotic potential at r->infinity?

Thanks in advance

What is the equation? What is the solution? There is waay too little data here.
 
This is the nonlinear equation

diff(y(r),r,r)+2*diff(y(r),r)/r+486*polylog(3/2,-exp(1-1/43*y(r))) = 0;
Initial conditions: y(0) = 0, D(y)(0) = 0.

Sol:1.05375994-.2150397042*r+.2150397042*r^2

Thank you
 
umm... It doesn't seem like your solution satisfies the initial condition: y(0)=0. Other than that, It's just a parabola, so there's no asymptotic behavior - it simply diverges...
 
There is asymptotic potential in the form of some ln function. But I don't know how to calculate it. and regarding potential at y(0), i will recheck my solution.
But my question is that if I have a solution for this differential equation at initial conditions, how can i get an asymptotic solution at r approaches infinity?

Thanks for your time

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
