文摘

In this paper, we will give conditions which will guarantee the existence of positive solutions for a variety of second order boundary value problems, using the well-known Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem. We will deal with a specific differential equation meeting a specific initial condition and use a general boundary condition, involving a not necessarily linear functional. Our purpose is to pose conditions on that functional, which will guarantee that the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem can be applied. It is important to notice that only the values of this functional on two specific functions are involved in the conditions we pose. This paper unifies the way we deal with a wide variety of boundary value problems and provides results which, to the best of our knowledge, are new.
