A class of singular fourth-order boundary value problems with nonhomogeneous nonlinearity

Qingliu Yao (2013)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study the existence of positive solutions to a class of singular nonlinear fourth-order boundary value problems in which the nonlinearity may lack homogeneity. By introducing suitable control functions and applying cone expansion and cone compression, we prove three existence theorems. Our main results improve the existence result in [Z. L. Wei, Appl. Math. Comput. 153 (2004), 865-884] where the nonlinearity has a certain homogeneity.

Multiple positive solutions to singular boundary value problems for superlinear second order FDEs

Daqing Jiang (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We study the existence of positive solutions to the singular boundary value problem for a second-order FDE ⎧ u'' + q(t) f(t,u(w(t))) = 0, for almost all 0 < t < 1, ⎨ u(t) = ξ(t), a ≤ t ≤ 0, ⎩ u(t) = η(t), 1 ≤ t ≤ b, where q(t) may be singular at t = 0 and t = 1, f(t,u) may be superlinear at u = ∞ and singular at u = 0.

Positive solutions to nonlinear singular second order boundary value problems

Gabriele Bonanno (1996)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Existence theorems of positive solutions to a class of singular second order boundary value problems of the form y'' + f(x,y,y') = 0, 0 < x < 1, are established. It is not required that the function (x,y,z) → f(x,y,z) be nonincreasing in y and/or z, as is generally assumed. However, when (x,y,z) → f(x,y,z) is nonincreasing in y and z, some of O'Regan's results [J. Differential Equations 84 (1990), 228-251] are improved. The proofs of the main theorems are based on a fixed point...

Positive solutions and eigenvalue intervals of a singular third-order boundary value problem

Qingliu Yao (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

This paper studies positive solutions and eigenvalue intervals of a nonlinear third-order two-point boundary value problem. The nonlinear term is allowed to be singular with respect to both the time and space variables. By constructing a proper cone and applying the Guo-Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem, the eigenvalue intervals for which there exist one, two, three or infinitely many positive solutions are obtained.

A third order boundary value problem subject to nonlinear boundary conditions

Gennaro Infante, Paolamaria Pietramala (2010)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Utilizing the theory of fixed point index for compact maps, we establish new results on the existence of positive solutions for a certain third order boundary value problem. The boundary conditions that we study are of nonlocal type, involve Stieltjes integrals and are allowed to be nonlinear.
