This study of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stagnation-point flow towards a permeable stretching/shrinking sheet in the presence of slip and heat generation/absorption effects is considered. The governing equations in the form of partial differential equations are transformed into a system of ordinary differential equations by using similarity transformation, and then solved numerically using bvp4c function in Matlab software. The variations of the numerical solutions for the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number as well as velocity and temperature profiles are obtained for several values of the governing parameters. It is found that the solution is unique for the stretching case whereas dual (first and second) solutions exist for the shrinking case in certain range of parameters.
