Positive solutions of singular nonlinear boundary value problems (Q1963903)

The authors consider the boundary value problem \[ y''= g(t,y) f(y'),\quad 0< t< 1,\quad y'(0)= m\leq 0,\quad y(1)= 0.\tag{1} \] For some assumptions with respect to the functions \(f\) and \(g\), the number \(m\), the authors prove the existence of a unique positive solution \(y(t)\) to problem (1) with \(y''(t)< 0\), they give necessary and sufficient conditions for \(y'(1)>-\infty\), and find asymptotic formulae for \(y(t)\) and \(y'(t)\) at \(t\to 1^-\).
