Positive solutions for systems of a nonlinear fourth-order singular semipositone Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem

This paper concerns the existence of positive solutions for systems of a fourth-order singular semipositone Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem. By applying the fixed point index theorem, some sufficient conditions for positive solutions are established. An example is given to demonstrate the application of our main results.     

A fourth-order boundary value problem for a Sturm-Liouville type equation

An existence result of multiple solutions for a fourth-order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem with variable parameters is established. As a consequence, three solutions for a boundary value problem with a fourth-order equation in a complete form are obtained. Our approach is based on variational methods.     

A dissipative singular Sturm-Liouville problem with a spectral parameter in the boundary condition

In the Hilbert space , we consider nonselfadjoint singular Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem (with two singular end points a and b) in limit-circle cases at a and b, and with a spectral parameter in the boundary condition. The approach is based on the use of the maximal dissipative operator, and the spectral analysis of this operator is adequate for boundary value problem. We construct a selfadjoint dilation of the maximal dissipative operator and its incoming and outgoing spectral representations, which make it possible to determine the scattering matrix of the dilation. We also construct a functional model of the maximal dissipative operator and define its characteristic function in terms of solutions of the corresponding Sturm-Liouville equation. On the basis of the results obtained regarding the theory of the characteristic function, we prove theorems on completeness of the system of eigenvectors and associated vectors of the maximal dissipative operator and Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem.     

Positive solutions for a singular fractional boundary value problem

We investigate the existence of positive solutions for a system of Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations, supplemented with uncoupled nonlocal boundary conditions which contain various fractional derivatives and Riemann-Stieltjes integrals, and the nonlinearities of the system are nonnegative functions and they may be singular at the time variable. In the proof of our main theorems, we use the Guo-Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem.     

Uniqueness theorems for an impulsive Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem

In this study, an impulsive boundary value problem, generated by Sturm-Liouville differential equation with the eigenvalue parameter contained in one boundary condition is considered. It is shown that the coefficients of the problem are uniquely determined either by the Weyl function or by two given spectra.

Multiple positive solutions of the singular boundary value problem for Sturm-Liouville equation with impulses on the half line

We consider the existence of multiple positive solutions of the singular boundary value problem for the Sturm-Liouville equation with impulses on the half line. By applying the fixed-point index theorem of a cone map, existence and multiplicity results about positive solutions are obtained. Our results improve and generalize some well-known results. An example is presented to demonstrate applications of our main results.     

Eigenvalue for a singular second order three-point boundary value problem

In this paper, the existence of positive solutions for a singular second-order three-point boundary value problem is investigated. By using Krasnoselskii??s fixed point theorem, several sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions and the eigenvalue intervals on which there exist positive solutions are obtained. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the importance of results obtained.     

Positive solution to a special singular second-order boundary value problem

Let λ be a nonnegative parameter. The existence of a positive solution is studied for a semipositone second-order boundary value problem

where d>0,α≥0,β≥0,α+β>0, q(t)f(t,u,v)≥0 on a suitable subset of [0,1]×[0,+∞)×(−∞,+∞) and f(t,u,v) is allowed to be singular at t=0,t=1 and u=0. The proofs are based on the Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem and the localization method.     

Orderh 2 method for a singular two-point boundary value problem

A method is described based on auniform mesh for the singular two-point boundary value problem:y+(/x)y+f(x, y)=0, 0<x1,y(0)=0,y(1)=A, and it is shown to be orderh ² convergent forall 1.     

A trace formula of a boundary value problem for the operator Sturm-Liouville equation

We obtain a regularized trace formula for the operator Sturm-Liouville equation with a boundary condition depending on a spectral parameter.     

On fourth-order boundary value problem with singular data

We consider a simply supported beam with restoring and external forces given as a sum of a continuous function and a Dirac delta distribution. We present sufficient conditions on these data in order to guarantee a unique positive or negative solution, respectively.
