Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions existence and multiplicity of positive solutions time scales.
We study the existence and positivity of solutions of a highly nonlinear periodic differential equation. In the process we convert the differential equation into an equivalent integral equation after which appropriate mappings are constructed. We then employ a modification of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem introduced by T. A. Burton ([4], Theorem 3) to show the existence and positivity of solutions of the equation.
We consider the existence of at least one positive solution to the dynamic boundary value problem where is an arbitrary time scale with and satisfying , , , , and where the boundary conditions at and can be both nonlinear and nonlocal. This extends some recent results on second-order semipositone dynamic boundary value problems, and we illustrate these extensions with some examples.
