The existence of solutions for singular nonlinear two point boundary value problems subject to Sturm Liouville boundary conditions with p Laplacian operators is studied by the method of upper and lower solutions. The proof is based on an application of Schauder’s fixed point theorem to a modified problem whose solutions are that of the original one. At the same time, Arzela Ascoli theorem is used to prove that the defined operator N is a compact map.

MULTIPLE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS OF SINGULAR THIRD-ORDER PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

This paper deals with the singular nonlinear third-order periodic boundary value problem u'' + p(3)u = f (t, u), 0 less than or equal to t less than or equal to 2pi, with u((i)) (0) = u((i)) (2pi), i = 0, 1, 2, where p is an element of (Graphics) and f is singular at t = 0, t = 1 and u = 0. Under suitable weaker conditions than those of [1], it is proved by constructing a special cone in C[0, 2pi] and employing the fixed point index theory that the problem has at least one or at least two positive solutions.

TWO POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO THREE-POINT SINGULAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

In this article, we consider the existence of two positive solutions to nonlinear second order three-point singular boundary value problem： -u′′（t） = λf（t, u（t）） for all t ∈ （0, 1） subjecting to u（0） = 0 and αu（η） = u（1）, where η ∈ （0, 1）, α ∈ [0, 1）, and λ is a positive parameter. The nonlinear term f（t, u） is nonnegative, and may be singular at t = 0, t = 1, and u = 0. By the fixed point index theory and approximation method, we establish that there exists λ＊ ∈ （0, ＋∞], such that the above problem has at least two positive solutions for any λ ∈ （0, λ＊） under certain conditions on the nonlinear term f.

The proof uses a fixed point theorem in cone theory.

Analytic decomposition and numerical procedure for solving the singular boundary value problem arising in viscous flows

An efficient analytical decomposition technique was presented for solving the singular nonlinear boundary value problem arising in viscous flow when the Crocco variable was introduced. The approximate analytical solution may be represented in terms of a rapid convergent power series with elegantly computable terms. The reliability and efficiency of the approximate solutions were verified by numerical ones in the literature. The approximate analytical solutions can be successfully applied to give the values of skin friction coefficient.
