Abstract

We will consider the nonhomogeneous ϕ-Laplacian differential equation { ( ϕ ( u ′ ( t ) ) ) ′ = − h ( t ) f ( u ( t ) ) , t ∈ ( 0 , T ) , u ( 0 ) = ∑ i = 1 k α i u ( η i ) , ϕ ( u ′ ( T ) ) = β , where ϕ:R→(−b,b) (0<b≤+∞) is an increasing homeomorphism such that ϕ(0)=0, h:[0,T]→ R + and f: R + → R + are continuous, β≥0 and η i ∈(0,T) and α i ∈R, i=1,2,…,k. Based on the Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem, the existence of a positive solution is obtained, even if some of the α i coefficients are negative. Two examples are also given to illustrate our main results.
