POSITIVE SOLUTION TO SECOND-ORDER FOUR-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM WITH SIGN CHANGING NONLINEARITY

This paper considers the positive solution to a class of second-order four-point boundary value problem, in which the first order derivative is involved in the nonlinear term explicitly. By the fixed point theorem in cone, sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of positive solution to the problem are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the feasibility of the main results.
