The authors study the following boundary value problem on the half line \[ x''-m^2x+\Phi(t)f(t,x)=0,\quad t\in(0,+\infty), \] \[ x(0)=0, x(\infty)=0, \] where \(f\in C(\mathbb{R}^+\times \mathbb{R}_0^+, \mathbb{R})\) and \(m>0\) is a constant, \(\Phi\in C(\mathbb{R}_0^+, \mathbb{R}^+)\); here, \(\mathbb{R}^+=[0,\infty), \mathbb{R}_0^+=(0,\infty)\). In this paper, \(f(t,x)\) can change sign and may be singular at \(x=0\). The lower and upper solution technique is presented for the above boundary value problem and some results on the existence of positive solutions are established.
