โฆ Synopsis
We study the existence of positive solutions of the differential equation (-l)my(2m) (t) = f(t,y(t),y"(t), . . ,y(2(m-'))(t)) with the boundary condition Y(~~)(O) = 0 = I, 0 5 i 5 m -1, and Y(~~)(O) = 0 = y( 2i+1)(l), 0 5 i 5 m -1. We show the existence of at least one positive solution if f is either superlinear or sublinear by an application of a fixed-point theorem in a cone.

We consider the existence of positive solutions for the following fourth-order singular Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem: where g, p may be singular at t = 0 and/or 1. Moreover F(t, x) may also have singularity at x = 0. The existence and multiplicity theorems of positive solutions for the fo
We study a class of even order system boundary value problems with periodic boundary conditions. A series of criteria are obtained for the existence of one, two, any arbitrary number, and even a countably infinite number of positive solutions. Criteria for the nonexistence of positive solutions are
