Title: Note on the uniqueness of a global positive solution to the second
       Painleve equation
        
Author: Mohammed Guedda (Univ. de Picardie Jules Verne, France)

Abstract:  
  The purpose of this note is to study  the  uniqueness of solutions to
  $ u'' -u^3 + (t-c)u = 0$, for $ t \in (0,+\infty)$ with
  Neumann condition at 0. Assuming a certain conditon at infinity,
  Helfer and Weissler [6] have found  a unique solution.
  We show that, without any assumptions at infinity,
  this problem has exactly one global positive solution.
  Moreover, the solution behaves like $\sqrt{t}$ as $t$ approaches infinity.
