Functions uniformly quiet at zero and existence results for one-parameter boundary value problems

G. L. Karakostas, P. Ch. Tsamatos (2002)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We introduce the notion of uniform quietness at zero for a real-valued function and we study one-parameter nonlocal boundary value problems for second order differential equations involving such functions. By using the Krasnosel'skiĭ fixed point theorem in a cone, we give values of the parameter for which the problems have at least two positive solutions.

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.
