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 consider natural conformal invariants arising from the Gauss-Bonnet formulas on manifolds with boundary, and study conformal deformation problems associated to them. The purpose of this paper is to study conformal deformation problems associated to conformal invariants on manifolds with boundary. From analysis point of view, the problem becomes a non-Dirichlet boundary value problems for ful...

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.

In this article we establish the existence of at least three positive solutions for 3n-th order three-point boundary value problem by using five functional fixed point theorem. We also establish the existence of at least 2m− 1 positive solutions of the problem for arbitrary positive integer m.

A new comparison theorem is proved and then used to investigate the solvability of a third-order two-point boundary value problem  u′′′(t) + f(t, u(t), u′(t), u′′(t))) = 0, u(0) = u′(2π) = 0, u′′(0) = u′′(2π).

Abstract We study difference equations which arise as discrete approximations to three-point boundary value problems for systems of first-order ordinary differential equations. We obtain new results of the existence of solutions to the discrete problem by employing Euler’s method. The existence of solutions are proven by the contraction mapping theorem and the Brouwer fixed point theorem in Euc...
