Constant-sign solutions for a system of integral equations on time scales (Q2485401)

The authors consider the existence of constant sign solutions for a system of Fredholm integral equations. The tools for the analysis are fixed point theorems. The main part of the paper presents a sequence of six theorems. Each theorem builds on the assumptions of earlier theorems so that one has, respectively, theorems on the existence of a solution, the existence of a constant sign solution, the existence of two constant sign solutions, the existence of non-trivial constant sign solutions and so on. In the final section of the paper, the results are shown to be applicable to boundary value problems.
