A second-order singular boundary value problem

Positive Solutions to a Singular Second Order Boundary Value Problem

In this paper, we establish some criteria for the existence of positive solutions for certain two point boundary value problems for the singular nonlinear second order equation −(ru ) + qu = λf (t, u ) on a time scale T. As a special case when T = R, our results include those of Erbe and Mathsen [11]. Our results are new in a general time scale setting and can be applied to difference and q-dif...

Positive Solutions for a Singular Third Order Boundary Value Problem

The existence of positive solutions is shown for the third order boundary value problem, u′′′ = f (x,u),0 < x < 1, u(0) = u(1) = u′′(1) = 0, where f (x,y) is singular at x = 0 , x = 1 , y = 0 , and may be singular at y = ∞. The method involves application of a fixed point theorem for operators that are decreasing with respect to a cone. Mathematics subject classification (2010): 34B16, 34B18.

Positive Solutions for Second-Order Singular Semipositone Boundary Value Problems

which arises in many different areas of applied mathematics and physics. Singular problems of this type that the nonlinearity g may change sign are referred to as singular semipositone problems in the literature. Motivated by BVP (1.1), this paper presents the existence results of the following second-order singular semipositone boundary value problem: { u ′′ + f(t, u) + g(t, u) = 0, 0 < t < 1,...
