Solutions of impulsive boundary value problems on the half-line (Q1270887)

The paper is devoted to find sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of positive solutions to a class of second-order nonlinear integro-differential equations with impulses and boundary conditions on the half-line. Using fixed point theory on cones, the author proves two results on the existence of positive solutions. Moreover, in the first one it is demonstrated that the determined solution is bounded. Some examples are presented to illustrate the main theorems and to show that such results improve previous works in this direction.
