Positive Solutions for Second-Order Singular Semipositone Differential Equations Involving Stieltjes Integral Conditions

Abstract EN

By means of the fixed point theory in cones, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for the following second-order singular differential equations with a negatively perturbed term: −u′′(t)=λ[f(t,u(t))−q(t)], 00 is a parameter; f:(0,1)×(0,∞)→[0,∞) is continuous; f(t,x) may be singular at t=0, t=1, and x=0, and the perturbed term q:(0,1)→[0,+∞) is Lebesgue integrable and may have finitely many singularities in (0,1), which implies that the nonlinear term may change sign.
