Positive Solutions for a System of Second-Order Differential Equations with Integral Boundary Conditions
Johnny Henderson, Rodica Luca, Alexandru Tudorache
Abstract—In this paper, we study a system of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations with
Riemann-Stieltjes integral boundary conditions which contain some positive constants. By using the
Schauder fixed point theorem and some properties of the associated Green's functions, we show that this
problem has at least one positive solution for sufficiently small constants. Then, we give sufficient
conditions for the nonexistence of positive solutions. Similar results for other three boundary value
problems are also presented.
Index Terms—Existence, integral boundary conditions, nonexistence, positive solutions, second-order differential equations.
