On a class of weakly regular singular two-point boundary value problems. II (Q1913664)

A class of singular two-point boundary value problems: \(-(p(x) y')= p(x) f(x,y)\), \(0< x\leq b\), \(\lim_{x\to 0^+} y'(x) =0\), \(y(b)= B\), is considered. Here \(B\) is a finite constant, \(p(x)>0\) in \((0, b)\); \(p(x)\in C^1 (0, r)\), and for some \(r>b\), \(xp'(x)/ p(x)\) is an analytic function in \(\{z: |z|<r\}\) with Taylor expansion \(xp' (x)/ p(x)= b_\alpha+ b_1 x+\dots\), \(b_\alpha\in [0, 1)\), and the function \(f(x)\) satisfies some general conditions. It is proved the existence of a unique solution of this class of boundary value problems. It is seen from one example that the given conditions on the function \(f(x)\) are sharp.
