This paper investigates 2mth-order (m > 1) superlinear singular two-point boundary value problems and obtains some necessary and sufficient conditions for existence of C2(m-') or C2m-1 positive solutions on the closed interval.

โฆ Synopsis
For 1 < k < n-1, we study the existence of multiple positive solutions to the singular (k, n -k) conjugate boundary value problem
We show that there are at least two positive solutions if f(t, y) is superlinear at c~ and singular at u = 0, t = 0, and t = 1. The arguments involve only positivity properties of Green's function and a fixed-point theorem in cones. Moreover, the explicit formula of Green's function can be found in this paper.

New existence results are presented for the second-order equation y" + f(t, y) = 0, 0 < t < 1 with Dirichlet or mixed boundary data. In our theory the nonlinearity f is allowed to change sign.
The existence of multiple positive solutions to superlinear periodic boundary value problems with repulsive singular forces is discussed in this paper. Our nonlinearity may be singular in its dependent variable and our analysis relies on a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type and on a fixed
For the 2nth-order boundary value problem c~y (2i) (0) -fliy (2i+1) (0) = a~y (2i) (1) +/3~y (2i+1) (1) = 0, O 1, growth conditions are imposed on f which yield the existence of at least two symmetric positive solutions by using the fixed-point theorem in double cones.
