Positive solutions for singular third-order nonhomogeneous boundary value problems

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for singular third-order nonhomogeneous boundary value problems. By using a fixed point theorem of cone expansion-compression type due to Krasnosel??skii, we establish various results on the existence or nonexistence of single and multiple positive solutions to the singular boundary problems in the explicit intervals for the nonhomogeneous term. An example is also given to illustrate some of the main results.
