in this paper, using the fixed point theory in cone metric spaces, we prove the existence of a unique solution to a first-order ordinary differential equation with periodic boundary conditions in banach spaces admitting the existence of a lower solution.

this paper studies a fractional boundary value problem of nonlineardifferential equations of arbitrary orders. new existence and uniquenessresults are established using banach contraction principle. other existenceresults are obtained using schaefer and krasnoselskii fixed point theorems.in order to clarify our results, some illustrative examples are alsopresented.

In this paper, we consider a non-self-adjoint, singular, nonlinear fourth order boundary value problem which arises in the theory of epitaxial growth. It is possible to reduce the fourth order equation to a singular boundary value problem of second order given by w''-1/r w'=w^2/(2r^2 )+1/2 λ r^2. The problem depends on the parameter λ and admits multiple solutions. Therefore, it is difficult to...

This paper is devoted to the existence of multiple positive solutions for fractional boundary value problem DC0+αu(t)=f(t, u(t), u'(t)), 0<t<1, u(1)=u'(1)=u''(0)=0, where 2<α≤3 is a real number, DC0+α is the Caputo fractional derivative, and f:[0,1]×[0, +∞)×R→[0, +∞) is continuous. Firstly, by constructing a special cone, applying Guo-Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem and Leggett-Williams fix...

Boundary Layer Flow past a stretching surface with constant wall temperature, of a nanofluid is studied for heat transfer characteristics. The system of partial differential equations describing such a flow is subjected to similarity transformations gives rise to a boundary value problem involving a system of ordinary differential equations. This system is solved by a shooting method. Effect of...

Since Al-Salam [1] and Agarwal [2] introduced the fractional q-difference calculus, the theory of fractional q-difference calculus itself and nonlinear fractional q-difference equation boundary value problems have been extensively investigated by many researchers. For some recent developments on fractional q-difference calculus and boundary value problems of fractional q-difference equations, s...

This paper presents the solution to the following optimization problem: What is the shape of the region that minimizes the average Lp distance between all pairs of points if the area of this region is held fixed? (The Lp-distance between two points x = (x1, x2) and y = (y1, y2) in < 2 is (|x1 − y1| p + |x2 − y2| p).) We use variational methods to determine the shape of the region that minimizes...
