Positive solutions of some singular \(m\)-point boundary value problems at non-resonance (Q814736)

The authors study the existence of positive solutions for a second-order singular \(m\)-point boundary value problem at nonresonance where the nonlinearity \(f(t,x)\) may be singular at \(x,t=0\) and/or \(t=1.\) By constructing lower and upper solutions, they give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of \(C[0,1]\) as well as \(C^1[0,1]\) positive solutions.
