Solvability of a class of second-order quasilinear boundary value problems (Q735335)

The author considers second order boundary value problems of the type \[ u''(t) + \frac{n-1}{t} u'(t) + f(t,u(t)) = 0, \;t \in (0,1); \] \[ u'(0) = u(1) = 0, \] where \(n \geq 3,\) the nonlinear term \(f(t,u)\) may be singular at \(t=0\) and \(t=1\) and \(\lim_{u \rightarrow \infty} \;\frac{f(t,u)}{u}\) exists. The proof uses the Green function of the homogeneous linear problem and the Schauder fixed point theorem.
