Positive solutions to a semilinear higher-order ODE on the half-line

Michael I. Gil'

Abstract:
We study a semilinear non-autonomous ordinary differential equation (ODE) of order $n$. Explicit conditions for the existence of $n$ linearly independent and positive solutions on the positive half-line are obtained. Also we establish lower solution estimates.
