Abstract

This paper deals with the existence of triple positive solutions for a type of second-order singular boundary problems with general differential operators. By using the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem, we establish an existence criterion for at least three positive solutions with suitable growth conditions imposed on the nonlinear term.

Highlights

  • We study the existence of triple positive solutions for the following second-order singular boundary value problems with general differential operators: utatutbtuthtft, u t 0, t ∈ 0, 1, 1.1 u 0 u 1 0, where a ∈ C 0, 1 ∩ L1 0, 1, b ∈ C 0, 1, −∞, 0, and h ∈ C 0, 1, 0, ∞ with t 1 − t |b t |dt < ∞, t 1 − t h t dt < ∞

  • The Leggett-William fixed point theorem is used extensively in the study of triple positive differential equations, the method has not been used to study this type of second-order singular boundary value problem with general differential operators

  • Lemma 2.1of 2 together with the facts that φ ∈ C1 0, 1 and H3 implies that limφ t 1 − s h s ds 0

Summary

Introduction

We study the existence of triple positive solutions for the following second-order singular boundary value problems with general differential operators: utatutbtuthtft, u t 0, t ∈ 0, 1 , 1.1 u 0 u 1 0, where a ∈ C 0, 1 ∩ L1 0, 1 , b ∈ C 0, 1 , −∞, 0 , and h ∈ C 0, 1 , 0, ∞ with t 1 − t |b t |dt < ∞, t 1 − t h t dt < ∞. The Leggett-William fixed point theorem is used extensively in the study of triple positive differential equations, the method has not been used to study this type of second-order singular boundary value problem with general differential operators.
