Fixed Point Theory and Applications (Jan 2011)
Existence of positive solutions for nonlocal second-order boundary value problem with variable parameter in Banach spaces
Abstract
Abstract By obtaining intervals of the parameter λ, this article investigates the existence of a positive solution for a class of nonlinear boundary value problems of second-order differential equations with integral boundary conditions in abstract spaces. The arguments are based upon a specially constructed cone and the fixed point theory in cone for a strict set contraction operator. MSC: 34B15; 34B16.
