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
