AbstractIn this paper, by using the fixed point index method first we obtain some existence and multiplicity results for sign-changing solutions of an (e1, B)-limit increasing operator equation. The main results can be applied to many non-linear boundary value problems to obtain the existence and multiplicity results for sign-changing solutions. We also give a clear description of locations of these sign-changing solutions through strict lower and upper solutions. As an example, in the last section we obtain some existence and multiplicity results for sign-changing solutions of some Sturm–Liouville differential boundary value problems.

AbstractBoundary value problems of Sturm-Liouville and periodic type for the second order nonlinear ODE uʺ + λf(t, u) = 0 are considered. Multiplicity results are obtained, for λ positive and large, under suitable growth restrictions on f(t, u) of superlinear type at u = 0 and of sublinear type at u = ∞. Only one-sided growth conditions are required. Applications are given to the equation uʺ + λq(t)f(u) = 0, allowing also a weight function q(t) of nonconstant sign.

We prove existence and multiplicity of solutions, with prescribed nodal properties, to a boundary value problem of the formu″+f(t,u)=0,u(0)=u(T)=0. The nonlinearity is supposed to satisfy asymmetric, asymptotically linear assumptions involving indefinite weights. We first study some auxiliary half-linear, two-weighted problems for which an eigenvalue theory holds. Multiplicity is ensured by assumptions expressed in terms of weighted eigenvalues. The proof is developed in the framework of topological methods and is based on some relations between rotation numbers and weighted eigenvalues.

In this paper, we study singular φ -Laplacian nonlocal boundary value problems with a nonlinearity which does not satisfy the L 1 -Carathéodory condition. The existence, nonexistence and/or multiplicity results of positive solutions are established under two different asymptotic behaviors of the nonlinearity at ∞.

Using bifurcation techniques and Sturm comparison theorem, we establish exact multiplicity results of sign-changing or constant sign solutions for the boundary value problemsu″+a(t)f(u)=0,t∈(0,1),u(0)=0, andu(1)=0, wheref∈C(ℝ,ℝ)satisfiesf(0)=0and the limitsf∞=lim|s|→∞(f(s)/s),f0=lim|s|→0(f(s)/s)∈{0,∞}. Weight functiona(t)∈C1[0,1]satisfiesa(t)>0on[0,1].

The existence of multiple positive solutions for Strum-Liouville boundary value problems with singularities is investigated. By applying a fixed point theorem of cone map, some existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions are derived. Our results improve and generalize those in some well-known results.
