Superlinear and sublinear focal boundary value problems (Q4339874)

Positive solutions are obtained for the boundary value problem \[ u^{(n)}+ a(t)f(u)=0, \;u^{(r_i-1)}(0)=0, \quad 1\leq i\leq k, \qquad u^{(s_j-1)}(1)=0, \quad 1\leq j\leq n-k, \] in the cases that \(f\) is either superlinear or sublinear, where \(\{r_1,\dots,r_k\}\cup \{s_1,\dots,s_{n-k}\}\) partitions \(\{1,\dots,n\}\).
