Existence of positive solutions for multi-point boundary value problems on infinite intervals in Banach spaces (Q5919912)

The author considers a singular boundary value problem in a Banach space: \[ x''(t)+f(t,x(t),x'(t))=0, \quad t\in (0,\infty), \] \[ x(0)=\sum_{i=1}^{m-2}\alpha_i x(\xi_i),\;x'(\infty)=y_\infty,\text{ where }0<\xi_1<\cdots<\xi_{m-2}<\infty,\;\alpha_i\in [0,\infty) \] with \(\sum_{i=1}^{m-2}\alpha_i >0\), and \(\sum_{i=1}^{m-2}\alpha_i \xi_i>1-\sum_{i=1}^{m-2}\alpha_i >0.\) Under some conditions on \(f\), the existence of a positive solution is discussed by the fixed point method.
