Existence and positivity of solutions for a nonlinear periodic differential equation

Ernest Yankson (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

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.

Existence of a positive solution to a nonlocal semipositone boundary value problem on a time scale

Christopher S. Goodrich (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider the existence of at least one positive solution to the dynamic boundary value problem - y Δ Δ ( t ) = λ f ( t , y ( t ) ) , t [ 0 , T ] 𝕋 y ( 0 ) = τ 1 τ 2 F 1 ( s , y ( s ) ) Δ s y σ 2 ( T ) = τ 3 τ 4 F 2 ( s , y ( s ) ) Δ s , where 𝕋 is an arbitrary time scale with 0 < τ 1 < τ 2 < σ 2 ( T ) and 0 < τ 3 < τ 4 < σ 2 ( T ) satisfying τ 1 , τ 2 , τ 3 , τ 4 𝕋 , and where the boundary conditions at t = 0 and t = σ 2 ( T ) 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.
