The existence of positive solutions for multi-point boundary value problem at resonance on the half-line (Q2634907)

The authors deal with the resonant second order multi-point boundary value problem on the half-line \[ \begin{aligned} &u''(t)+f(t,u(t))=0,\;t\in[0,+\infty),\\ &u(0)=0,\;u'(+\infty)=\sum_{i=1}^{m-1}\alpha_i u'(\xi_i), \end{aligned} \] where \(\sum_{i=1}^{m-1}\alpha_i=1\). By means of the Leggett-Williams norm-type theorem due to \textit{D. O'Regan} and \textit{M. Zima} [Arch. Math. 87, No. 3, 233--244 (2006; Zbl 1109.47051)] they provide sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions to the problem. An example is given to illustrate the main result of the paper.
