Multiple solutions for discrete boundary value problems

A recent multiplicity theorem for the critical points of a functional defined on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, established by Ricceri, is extended. An application to Dirichlet boundary value problems for difference equations involving the discrete p-Laplacian operator is presented.     

Multiple solutions of nonlinear functional boundary value problems

A class of nonlinear functional boundary conditions for the system of functional differential equations x"(t)=(F(x,y))(t)x'(t)=(F(x,y))(t), y"(t)=(H(x,y))(t)y'(t)=(H(x,y))(t) is introduced. Here F, H:C¹([a,b]) ×C¹([a,b]) ? L₁([a,b])F,\,H:C^1([a,b]) \times C^1([a,b]) \rightarrow L_1([a,b]) are nonlinear continuous operators. Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least four solutions are given. Results are proved by the Bihari lemma, the Leray-Schauder degree theory and the Borsuk theorem.     

Multiple solutions of some fourth-order boundary value problems

For some fourth-order boundary value problems, several new existence theorems on multiple positive, negative and sign-changing solutions are obtained. The critical point theory and the supersolution and subsolution method are employed to discuss this problem.     

Multiple solutions of two-point nonlinear boundary value problems

A quasi-linear boundary value problem has a solution with properties induced by oscillatory properties of the linear part of an equation. This result is proved for two dimensional systems. Consequences for Φ-Laplacian equations and problems with resonant linear parts are discussed.     

Efficient shooting method for solving two point boundary value problems

We present an efficient shooting method for solving two point boundary value problems. The Adomian decomposition method will be utilized to obtain a series solution of the initial value problems involved. Numerical examples and comparison of the work of others will also be done.     

The shooting method for some nonlinear Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems

The shooting method is used to prove existence and uniqueness of the solution for a semilinear Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem (N). lies between two consecutive eigenvalues of the related linear problem, the shooting function turns out to be strongly monotone.     

Multiple solutions of impulsive boundary value problems on the half-line

Existence results of multiple solutions are obtained under suitable conditions for impulsive integrodifferential boundary value problems on the half-line which may be singular at the boundary.     

Multiple solutions of some boundary value problems with parameters

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the following second-order Dirichlet nonlinear boundary value problem with odd order derivative: −u^″(t)+au^′(t)+bu(t)=f(t,u(t)) for all t∈[0,1] with u(0)=u(1)=0, where a,b∈R¹, f∈C¹([0,1]×R¹,R¹). By using the Morse theory, we impose certain conditions on f which are able to guarantee that the problem has at least one nontrivial solution, two nontrivial solutions and infinitely many solutions, separately.     

Multiple solutions of semilinear degenerate elliptic boundary value problems

The purpose of this paper is to study a class of semilinear elliptic boundary value problems with degenerate boundary conditions which include as particular cases the Dirichlet problem and the Robin problem. The approach here is based on the super‐sub‐solution method in the degenerate case, and is distinguished by the extensive use of an L^p Schauder theory elaborated for second‐order, elliptic differential operators with discontinuous zero‐th order term. By using Schauder's fixed point theorem, we prove that the existence of an ordered pair of sub‐ and supersolutions of our problem implies the existence of a solution of the problem. The results extend an earlier theorem due to Kazdan and Warner to the degenerate case. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim

In this article we establish multiplicity results for impulsive three-point boundary value problems if we assume a sub-linear condition at infinity. The proof involves Leray–Schauder degree and the lower and upper solution method.     

Multiple positive solutions for discrete nonlocal boundary value problems

In this paper, we investigate a second-order nonlinear difference equation with sign-changing nonlinearity subject to two different sets of nonlocal boundary conditions. The explicit expressions of the associated Green's functions are presented. By using a recently developed fixed point theorem, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple positive solutions of the boundary value problem.     

Multiple solutions for a fourth-order difference boundary value problem with parameter via variational approach

By establishing the corresponding variational framework, and using the mountain pass theorem, linking theorem and Clark theorem in critical point theory, we give the existence of multiple solutions for a fourth-order difference boundary value problem with parameter. Under some suitable assumptions we obtain some results which ensure the existence of well precise interval of parameter for which the problem admits multiple solutions. Some examples are presented to illustrate the main results.
