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.

Abstract In this study we are concerned with spectrum of boundary value problems with retarded argument with discontinuous weight function, two supplementary transmission conditions at the point of discontinuity, spectral and physical parameters in the boundary condition and we obtain bounds for the distance between eigenvalues. We extend and generalize some approaches and results of the classical regular and discontinuous Sturm-Liouville problems. In the special case that ω (x) ≡ 1, the transmission coefficients γ1 = δ1, γ2 = δ2 and retarded argument Δ ≡ 0 in the results obtained in this work coincide with corresponding results in the classical Sturm-Liouville operator.

Using bifurcation techniques, we first prove a global bifurcation theorem for nonlinear second-order semipositone integral boundary value problems. Then the existence and multiplicity of nodal solutions of the above problems are obtained. Finally, an example is worked out to illustrate our main results.

In this paper, we develop criteria for the existence of multiple positive solutions for second order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem, u 00 + k 2u + f(t, u) = 0, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, au(0) − bu0 (0) = 0 and cu(1) + du0 (1) = 0, where k ∈ 0, π 2 is a constant, by an application of Avery–Henderson fixed point theorem.

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].
