We study the singular periodic boundary value problem of the form $${\left(\phi \left(u^{\text{'}}\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}+h\left(u\right)u^{\text{'}}=g\left(u\right)+e\left(t\right),u\left(0\right)=u\left(T\right),u^{\text{'}}\left(0\right)=u^{\text{'}}\left(T\right),$$ where $\phi ℝ\to ℝ$ is an increasing and odd homeomorphism such that $\phi \left(ℝ\right)=ℝ,$$h\in C[0,\infty ...$

The paper is concerned with a stochastic delay predator-prey model under regime switching. Sufficient conditions for extinction and non-persistence in the mean of the system are established. The threshold between persistence and extinction is also obtained for each population. Some numerical simulations are introduced to support our main results.

The paper is concerned with existence results for positive solutions and maximal positive solutions of singular mixed boundary value problems. Nonlinearities h(t;x;y) in differential equations admit a time singularity at t=0 and/or at t=T and a strong singularity at x=0.

We consider the classical nonlinear fourth-order two-point boundary value problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{u}^{\left(4\right)}\left(t\right)=\lambda h\left(t\right)f(t,u\left(t\right),u^{\text{'}}\left(t\right),u^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(t\right)),0<t<1,\hfill \\ u\left(0\right)=u^{\text{'}}\left(1\right)=u^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(0\right)=u^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}\left(1\right)=0.\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ In this problem, the nonlinear term $h\left(t\right)f(t,u\left(t\right),u^{\text{'}}\left(t\right),u^{\text{'}\text{'}}\left(t\right))$ contains the first and second derivatives of the unknown function, and the function $h\left(t\right)f(t,x,y,z)$ 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.

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.

We consider the existence of positive solutions of the equation $1/\lambda \left(t\right){\left(\lambda \left(t\right){\phi }_p\left(x^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}+\mu f(t,x\left(t\right),x^{\text{'}}\left(t\right))=0$, where ${\phi }_p\left(s\right)={\left|s\right|}^{p-2}s$, p > 1, subject to some singular Sturm-Liouville boundary conditions. Using the Krasnosel’skiĭ fixed point theorem for operators on cones, we prove the existence of positive solutions under some structure conditions.
