SOME NECESSARY AND SUFFICIENT CONDITIONS FOR EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR THIRD ORDER SINGULAR SUBLINEAR MULTI-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

We mainly study the existence of positive solutions for the following third order singular multi-point boundary value problem{x^（3）（t） ＋ f（t, x（t）, x′（t）） = 0, 0 〈 t 〈 1,x（0）-∑i=1^m1 αi x（ξi） = 0, x′（0）-∑i=1^m2 βi x′（ηi） = 0, x′（1）=0,where 0 ≤ ai≤∑i=1^m1 αi 〈 1, i = 1, 2, ···, m1, 0 〈 ξ1〈 ξ2〈 ··· 〈 ξm1〈 1, 0 ≤βj≤∑i^m2=1βi〈1,J=1,2, ···, m2, 0 〈 η1〈 η2〈 ··· 〈 ηm2〈 1. And we obtain some necessa βi 〈=11, j = 1,ry and sufficient conditions for the existence of C^1[0, 1] and C^2[0, 1] positive solutions by constructing lower and upper solutions and by using the comparison theorem. Our nonlinearity f（t, x, y）may be singular at x, y, t = 0 and/or t = 1.

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SOME 1-DIMENSIONAL BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS OF LAPLACE-TYPE

This paper deals with the existence of triple positive solutions for the 1-dimensional equation of Laplace-type （φ（x′（t）））′＋q（t）f（t,x（t）,x′（t））=0,t∈（0,1）,subject to the following boundary condition：a1φ（x（0））-a2φ（x＇（0））=0,a3φ（x（1））＋a4φ（x＇（1））=0,where φ is an odd increasing homogeneous homeomorphism. By using a new fixed point theorem, sufficient conditions are obtained that guarantee the existence of at least three positive solu- tions. The emphasis here is that the nonlinear term f is involved with the first order derivative explicitly.

Failure Mechanisms of Post-Earthquake Bedrock Landslides in Response to Rainfall Infiltration

Among the triggering factors of postearthquake bedrock landslides, rainfall plays an important role. However, with slope variation, the mechanism of its effects on the failure of rock landslides is not dear. Here, from the viewpoint of fracture mechanics, and based on post-earthquake conditions, the mechanisms of crack propagation, water infiltration and development of the sliding surface were investigated. Then, according to the upper boundary theorem, the effects of water infiltrated into fractures on the stability of rock slopes were analyzed quantitatively. Finally, an example is presented to verify the theory. The results show that the propagation and coalescence of cracks and the lubrication of incipient sliding surfaces are the main causes of the failure of post-earthquake rock landslides in response to rainfall.

The Estimates L_(1)-L_(∞) for the Reduced Radial Equation of Schrodinger

Estimates of the type L1-L∞ for the Schrödinger Equation on the Line and on Half-Line with a regular potential V(x), express the dispersive nature of the Schrödinger Equation and are the essential elements in the study of the problems of initial values, the asymptotic times for large solutions and Scattering Theory for the Schrödinger equation and non-linear in general;for other equations of Non-linear Evolution. In general, the estimates Lp-Lp' express the dispersive nature of this equation. And its study plays an important role in problems of non-linear initial values;likewise, in the study of problems nonlinear initial values;see [1] [2] [3]. On the other hand, following a series of problems proposed by V. Marchenko [4], that we will name Marchenko’s formulation, and relate it to a generalized version of Theorem 1 given in [1], the main theorem (Theorem 1) of this article provides a transformation operator W?that transforms the Reduced Radial Schrödinger Equation (RRSE) (whose main characteristic is the addition a singular term of quadratic order to a regular potential V(x)) in the Schrödinger Equation on Half-Line (RSEHL) under W. That is to say;W?eliminates the singular term of quadratic order of potential V(x) in the asymptotic development towards zero and adds to the potential V(x) a bounded term and a term exponentially decrease fast enough in the asymptotic development towards infinity, which continues guaranteeing the uniqueness of the potential V(x) in the condition of the infinity boundary. Then the L1-L∞ estimates for the (RRSE) are preserved under the transformation operator , as in the case of (RSEHL) where they were established in [3]. Finally, as an open question, the possibility of extending the L1-L∞ estimates for the case (RSEHL), where added to the potential V(x) an analytical perturbation is mentioned.
