Existence and iteration of positive solutions for a singular two-point boundary value problem with a p -Laplacian operator

De-xiang Ma, Weigao Ge, Zhan-Ji Gui (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In the paper, we obtain the existence of symmetric or monotone positive solutions and establish a corresponding iterative scheme for the equation ( φ p ( u ' ) ) ' + q ( t ) f ( u ) = 0 , 0 < t < 1 , where φ p ( s ) : = | s | p - 2 s , p > 1 , subject to nonlinear boundary condition. The main tool is the monotone iterative technique. Here, the coefficient q ( t ) may be singular at t = 0 , 1 .

Existence and L∞ estimates of some Mountain-Pass type solutions

José Maria Gomes (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove the existence of a positive solution to the BVP ( Φ ( t ) u ' ( t ) ) ' = f ( t , u ( t ) ) , u ' ( 0 ) = u ( 1 ) = 0 , imposing some conditions on Φ and f. In particular, we assume Φ ( t ) f ( t , u ) to be decreasing in t. Our method combines variational and topological arguments and can be applied to some elliptic problems in annular domains. An L bound for the solution is provided by the L norm of any test function with negative energy.

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.
