Abstract (2. Language): 
In this paper we consider the problem of a steady MHD flow of a non-Newtonian powerlaw and electrically conducting fluid in presence of an applied magnetic field. The boundary layer equations are solved in similarity form via the Lyapunov energy method, we show that this problem has an infinite number of positive global solutions.
