Positive solutions for singular boundary value problems involving integral conditions. (English) Zbl 1282.34030

Summary: We are interested in the singular boundary value problem: \[ \begin{aligned} &u''(t)+ \mu w(t)f(u(t))=0, \quad t\in(0,1) ,\\ &u(0)=0, \quad u(1)=\int_{0}^{1}u(s)dA(s), \end{aligned} \] where \(\mu > 0\) is a parameter and \(\int_{0}^{1}u(s)dA(s)\) is a Stieltjes integral. The function \({w\in C((0, 1), (0, +\infty))}\) may be singular at \(t = 0\) and/or \(t = 1\), \(f\in C([0,+\infty),(0,\infty))\). Some a priori estimates and the existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of positive solutions are obtained. Our proofs are based on the method of the global continuation theorem, the lower-upper solutions method and the fixed point index theory. Furthermore, we also discuss the interval of parameter \(\mu\) such that the problem has a positive solution.
