Multiplicity and nonexistence of positive solutions to impulsive Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems (Q6571679)

The authors examine a nonlinear impulsive Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem featuring a control parameter, \(\lambda\). They establish that there are at least two positive solutions when the parameter \(\lambda\) is in the range \((0,\Lambda)\), one positive solution when \(\lambda = \Lambda\), and no positive solutions for \(\lambda > \Lambda\), where \(\Lambda > 0\) is a constant. Notably, their approach is based on a variational structure and the mountain pass theorem.
