On the singular generalized Fisher-like equation with derivative depending nonlinearity (Q2378773)

The existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the second-order nonlinear boundary value problem \[ -y'' + cy' + \lambda y= m(x) f(x,y(x),y'(x)), \quad x\in (0,+\infty), \] \[ y(0)=y_0, \;y(+\infty)=0 \] is investigated, where \(c,\lambda\) are positive parameters, \(m\) and \(f\) are continuous functions. The term \(m\) may exhibit a singularity at the origin, while \(f\) is assumed to have a polynomial growth. Some examples and numerical computations are also presented. In order to obtain a priori estimates of the solutions, which can be non-monotone, recent fixed-point theorems on cones of Banach spaces are used.
