We consider the positive solutions to singular boundary-value problems of the form where λ > 0, β ∈ (0,1) and Ω is a bounded domain in ℝN, N ≥ 1, with smooth boundary ∂Ω. Here, we assume that f: [0, ∞) → (0, ∞) is a C1 non-decreasing function and f(s)/sβ is decreasing for s large. We establish the uniqueness of the positive solution when λ is large.

In this paper, the authors examine sufficient condition for the uniqueness of positive solutions of singular Strum-Liouville boundary value problems. The authors use the uniqueness theorems of (E) with respect to the boundary conditions to show that the boundary value problems have one positive solution.

Consider the singular boundary value problem (r(x′))′ + f(t, x) = 0, 0 < t < 1. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for this problem to have solutions. In addition, a uniqueness result is obtained.

SynopsisThe differential operators in question are of the form G(DZ) where G(w)is an entire function of order at most 1/n and minimal type while Dz is a linear differential operator of order n with coefficients which are entire ( = integral) functions of z, usually polynomials. This class of operators form a natural generalization of the class G(d/dz) studied during the first half of the century Muggli, Polya, Ritt and others. The class G(DZ) was introduced by the present author and his pupils in the 1940s. In fact, the present paper is partly based on a MS from that period, mostly devoted to the special casebut also containing generalizations, some of which were later worked out by Klimczak. A basic tool in this paper is the characteristic seriesExamples are given showing that the domain of absolute convergence of such a series need neither be convex nor of finite connectivity, a question which has puzzled the author for forty odd years. Characteristic series arising from regular or singular boundary value problems for the operator Dz are used to study the inversion problemfor given F(z). In particular it is shown that exp (Dx)[W(z)] = 0 has the unique solution W(z) ≡ 0. Some singular boundary value problems are considered briefly.

AbstractLet M be a smooth bounded domain in Rn with smooth boundary, n ≥ 2, and . We prove an inequality involving the first k + 1 eigenvalues of the eigenvalue problem: where am−1 ≥ 0 are constants and at−1 = 1. We also obtain a uniform estimate of the upper bound of the ratios of consecutive eigenvalues.

AbstractWe prove uniqueness of positive solutions for the boundary value problems \[ \{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u=\lambda f(u)\ \ &\text{in}\Omega, \ \ \ \ \ u=0 &\text{on \partial \Omega, \] where Ω is a bounded domain in ℝn with smooth boundary ∂Ω, λ is a positive parameter and f:(0,∞) → (0,∞) is sublinear at ∞ and is allowed to be singular at 0.
