Multiple positive solutions for boundary value problems of second-order differential equations system on the half-line
Abstract
In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions for boundary value problems of second-order differential equations system with integral boundary condition on the half-line. By using a three functionals fixed point theorem in a cone and a fixed point theorem in a cone due to Avery-Peterson, we show the existence of at least two and three monotone increasing positive solutions with suitable growth conditions imposed on the nonlinear terms.
