Fixed points and solutions of boundary value problems at resonance

Alaa Almansour, Paul Eloe (2015)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We consider a simple boundary value problem at resonance for an ordinary differential equation. We employ a shift argument and construct a regular fixed point operator. In contrast to current applications of coincidence degree, standard fixed point theorems are applied to give sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions. We provide three applications of fixed point theory. They are delicate and an application of the contraction mapping principle is notably missing. We give a...

Positive solutions with given slope of a nonlocal second order boundary value problem with sign changing nonlinearities

P. Ch. Tsamatos (2004)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study a nonlocal boundary value problem for the equation x''(t) + f(t,x(t),x'(t)) = 0, t ∈ [0,1]. By applying fixed point theorems on appropriate cones, we prove that this boundary value problem admits positive solutions with slope in a given annulus. It is remarkable that we do not assume f≥0. Here the sign of the function f may change.
