Positive solutions to classes of infinite semipositone \((p,q)\)-Laplace problems with nonlinear boundary conditions (Q2226345)

In this interesting paper the authors study the existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of positive solutions for the one-dimensional \((p,q)\)-Laplacian problems: \begin{gather*} -(\varphi(u'))'=\lambda h(t)f(u),\qquad t\in (0,1),\\ u(0)=0=au'(1)+g(\lambda,u(1))u(1), \end{gather*} where \(\lambda>0\), \(a\geq 0\), \(\varphi(s)=|s|^{p-2}s+|s|^{q-2}s\) with \(1<p<q<+\infty\), \(h\in C((0,1),(0,+\infty))\), and \(f\in C((0,+\infty),\mathbb{R})\) may have a singularity at 0 of repulsive type. The proofs are based on a classical Krasnoselskii type fixed point theorem which is fit to overcome a lack of homogeneity.
