Abstract
Bifurcation theory is used to prove the existence of positive solutions of some classes of semi-positone problems with nonlinear boundary conditions
where \(c:[0, \infty )\rightarrow [0, \infty )\) is continuous, \(f:[0, \infty )\rightarrow \mathbb {R}\) is continuous and \(f(t,0)<0\) for \(t\in [0,1]\).
