Multiple positive solutions for a nonlocal boundary-value problem with response function quiet at zero

G. L. Karakostas & P. Ch. Tsamatos

Abstract:
The existence of positive solutions of a nonlocal boundary value problem for a second order differential equation is investigated. By assuming that the response function is quiet at zero, in a sense introduced here, and it satisfies some easy conditions, existence results for a countable set of positive solutions are given.
