Critical points and positive solutions of singular elliptic boundary value problems

Critical points and positive solutions of singular elliptic boundary value problems ✩

Usually we do not think there is variational structure for singular elliptic boundary value problems, so it cannot be considered by using critical points theory. In this paper, we use critical theory on certain convex closed sets to solve positive solutions for singular elliptic boundary value problems, especially use the ordinary differential equation theory of Banach spaces to obtain new resu...

Existence and Nonexistence of Positive Solutions for Singular Semilinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems

In this paper we study existence of positive solutions to singular elliptic boundary value problems involving divergence terms in general domains. By constructing suitable upper and lower solutions and making comparison, we obtain suucient conditions for existence and nonexistence of solutions. We also study a concrete example to show that the conditions imposed on parameters appearing in the s...

Positive Solutions for a Class of Singular Boundary-value Problems

This paper concerns the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for Sturm-Liouville boundary-value problems. We use fixed point theorems and the sub-super solutions method to two solutions to the problem studied. Introduction Consider the boundary-value problem Lu = λf(t, u), 0 < t < 1 αu(0)− βu′(0) = 0, γu(1) + δu′(1) = 0, (0.1) where Lu = −(ru′)′ + qu, r, q ∈ C[0, 1] with r > 0, q ≥ ...
