AbstractIn this paper, we give an existence theorem about positive solutions for the Dirichlet boundary value problem of one dimensional Minkowski curvature equations. We apply the theorem to one parameter family of problems to investigate a constructive method for numerical range of parameters where positive solutions exist. Moreover, we establish a nonexistence theorem of positive solutions for the corresponding one parameter family of problems. The coefficient function may be singular at the boundary and nonlinear term satisfies a sublinear growth condition. Main argument for the proof of existence theorem is employed by Krasnoselskii’s theorem of cone expansion and compression. We give a numerical algorithm and various examples to illustrate numerical information about ranges of the existence and nonexistence parameters which have been given only in a theoretical manner so far.

We describe the existence of positive solutions for a class of singular generalized one-dimensionalp-Laplacian problem. By applying the related fixed point theory in cone, some new and general results on the existence of positive solutions to the singular generalizedp-Laplacian problem are obtained. Note that the nonlinear termfinvolves the first-order derivative explicitly.

We consider the existence of positive solutions of one-dimensional prescribed mean curvature equation−(u′/1+u′2)′=λf(u),0<t<1,u(t)>0,t∈(0,1),u(0)=u(1)=0whereλ>0is a parameter, andf:[0,∞)→[0,∞)is continuous. Further, whenfsatisfiesmax{up,uq}≤f(u)≤up+uq,0<p≤q<+∞, we obtain the exact number of positive solutions. The main results are based upon quadrature method.

Under some conditions concerning the first eigenvalues corresponding to the relevant linear operator, we obtain sharp optimal criteria for the existence of positive solutions forp-Laplacian problems with integral boundary conditions. The main methods in the paper are constructing an available integral operator and combining fixed point index theory. The interesting point of the results is that the nonlinear term contains all lower-order derivatives explicitly. Finally, we give some examples to demonstrate the main results.

We study the existence of positive solutions for a class ofm-point boundary value problems on time scales. Our approach is based on the monotone iterative technique and the cone expansion and compression fixed point theorem of norm type. Without the assumption of the existence of lower and upper solutions, we do not only obtain the existence of positive solutions of the problem, but also establish the iterative schemes for approximating the solutions.

AbstractThe existence of positive solutions of some semilinear elliptic equations of the form −Δu = λf(u) is studied. The major results are a nonexistence theorem which gives a λ* = λ*(f,Ω) > 0 below which no positive solutions exist and a lower bound theorem for umax for Ω a ball. As a corollary of the nonexistence theorem that describes the dependence of the number of solutions on λ, two other nonexistence theorems, and an existence theorem are also proved.

This paper deals with a class of nonlinear elliptic equations in an unbounded domainDofℝn,n≥3, with a nonempty compact boundary, where the nonlinear term satisfies some appropriate conditions related to a certain Kato classK∞(D). Our purpose is to give some existence results and asymptotic behaviour for positive solutions by using the Green function approach and the Schauder fixed point theorem.
