The existence of countably many positive solutions for one-dimensional \(p\)-Laplacian with infinitely many singularities on the half-line (Q945239)

The authors study the existence of countable many positive solutions of nonlinear \(m\)-point boundary value problem with a \(p\)-Laplacian operator on a half-line of the form \[ (\phi_p(u'))'+a(t) f(u(t))=0, \quad t\in (0,\infty), \] \[ u(0)=\sum^{m-2}_{i=1}\alpha_i u(\xi_i), \quad u'(\infty)=0, \] where \(\phi_p(s)=| s| ^{p-2}s\), \(p>1\), \(\xi_i\in (0,\infty)\) with \(0<\xi_1<\xi_2<\cdots<\xi_{m-2}<+\infty\), \(\alpha_i\in (0,\infty)\) with \(0<\sum^{m-2}_{i=1} \alpha_i<1\), \(f\in C([0,\infty), [0,\infty))\), \(a\in C([0,\infty), [0,\infty))\) may be singular at countable many points in \([1,\infty)\). The main tool they used is the fixed point index theory in cones.
