Positive solutions of the one-dimensional \(p\)-Laplacian with nonlinearity defined on a finite interval (Q369989)

Summary: We use the quadrature method to show the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of the boundary value problems involving one-dimensional \(p\)-Laplacian \[ \begin{gathered} (|u'(t)|^{p - 2}u'(t))' + \lambda f(u(t)) = 0,\;\;t \in (0, 1),\\ u(0) = u(1) = 0,\end{gathered} \] where \(p \in (1, 2]\), \(\lambda \in (0, \infty)\) is a parameter, \(f \in C^1([0, r), [0, \infty))\) for some constant \(r > 0\), \(f(s) > 0\) in \((0, r)\), and \(\lim_{s \to r^-}(r - s)^{p - 1}f(s) = +\infty\).
