where η ∈ 0, 1 , α, β ∈ R, f ∈ C 0, 1 × R,R . The parameters α and β are arbitrary in R such that 1 2α 2βη − 2β / 0. Our aim is to give new conditions on the nonlinearity of f , then using Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative, we establish the existence of nontrivial solution. We only assume that f t, 0 / 0 and a generalized polynomial growth condition, that is, there exist two nonnegative func...

By using the fixed-point index theory and Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem,we study the existence of multiple solutions to the three-point boundary value problem u′′′ t a t f t, u t , u′ t 0, 0 < t < 1; u 0 u′ 0 0; u′ 1 − αu′ η λ, where η ∈ 0, 1/2 , α ∈ 1/2η, 1/η are constants, λ ∈ 0,∞ is a parameter, and a, f are given functions. New existence theorems are obtained, which extend and comple...

We prove that a certain two point BVP with jumping nonlinearities has a solution. Our result generalizes that of [2]. We use variational methods which permit giving a minimax characterization of the solution. Our proof exposes the similarities between the variational behavior of this problem and that of other semilinear problems with noninvertible linear part (see [5]).

We give a new analysis of Petrov-Galerkin finite element methods for solving linear singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems without turning points. No use is made of finite difference methodology such as discrete maximum principles, nor of asymptotic expansions. On meshes which are either arbitrary or slightly restricted, we derive energy norm and L norm error bounds. These bound...

We study the existence of positive solutions to the boundary-value problem u + a(t)f(u) = 0, t ∈ (0, 1) u(0) = 0, αu(η) = u(1) , where 0 < η < 1 and 0 < α < 1/η. We show the existence of at least one positive solution if f is either superlinear or sublinear by applying the fixed point theorem in cones.
