Nonlinear boundary value problems on semi-infinite intervals using weighted spaces: an upper and lower solution approach (Q882831)

This paper studies the existence of positive, unbounded and monotone solutions for the boundary value problem \[ \frac{1}{p(t)}(p(t)y'(t))' + \Phi (t)f(t,y(t),p(t)y'(t)) = 0, \;t \in (a,+\infty), \] \[ y(a) = 0, \;\;\lim_{t \rightarrow +\infty} \;p(t)y'(t) = 0, \] where the nonlinearity \(f\) may be singular at \(t= 0\) or \(y = 0.\) The proof uses a lower and upper solution approach.
