Existence of positive solutions for boundary-value problems with integral boundary conditions and sign changing nonlinearities.
In this paper we deal with the boundary value problem in the Hilbert space. Existence of a solutions is proved by using the method of lower and upper solutions. It is not necessary to suppose that the homogeneous problem has only the trivial solution. We use some results from functional analysis, especially the fixed-point theorem in the Banach space with a cone (Theorem 4.1, [5]).
In this work, we are interested in the existence of solutions for a class of first order boundary value problems (BVPs for short). We give new sufficient conditions under which the considered problems have at least one solution, one nonnegative solution and two non trivial nonnegative solutions, respectively. To prove our main results we propose a new approach based upon recent theoretical results. The results complement some recent ones.
