Positive solutions for a class of fourth-order boundary value problems in Banach spaces.
In this paper, by using recent results on fixed point index, we develop a new fixed point theorem of functional type for the sum of two operators where is Lipschitz invertible and a -set contraction. This fixed point theorem is then used to establish a new result on the existence of positive solutions to a non-autonomous second order difference equation.
We consider the existence of positive solutions of the equation , where , p > 1, subject to some singular Sturm-Liouville boundary conditions. Using the Krasnosel’skiĭ fixed point theorem for operators on cones, we prove the existence of positive solutions under some structure conditions.
Values of are determined for which there exist positive solutions of the system of three-point boundary value problems, , , for , and satisfying, , , , . A Guo-Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem is applied.
