Unbounded solutions of BVP for second order ODE with p -Laplacian on the half line

Similarity:

By applying the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem in a suitably constructed cone, we obtain the existence of at least three unbounded positive solutions for a boundary value problem on the half line. Our result improves and complements some of the work in the literature.

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

Qingliu Yao (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We consider the classical nonlinear fourth-order two-point boundary value problem u ( 4 ) ( t ) = λ h ( t ) f ( t , u ( t ) , u ' ( t ) , u ' ' ( t ) ) , 0 < t < 1 , u ( 0 ) = u ' ( 1 ) = u ' ' ( 0 ) = u ' ' ' ( 1 ) = 0 . In this problem, the nonlinear term h ( t ) f ( t , u ( t ) , u ' ( t ) , u ' ' ( t ) ) contains the first and second derivatives of the unknown function, and the function h ( t ) f ( t , x , y , z ) may be singular at t = 0 , t = 1 and at x = 0 , y = 0 , z = 0 . By introducing suitable height functions and applying the fixed point theorem on the cone, we establish several local existence theorems on positive solutions and obtain the corresponding eigenvalue intervals.
