摘要
The second-order m-point boundary value problem { phi" (x) + h (x) f (phi(x)) = 0, 0 < x < 1, phi(0) = 0, phi(1) = Sigma(i=1)(m-2) a(i)phi(xi(i)), is considered under some conditions concerning the first eigenvalue of the relevant linear operator, where xi(i) epsilon (0, 1) with 0 < xi(1) < xi(2) < (...) < xi(m-2) < 1, a(i) epsilon [0, infinity) with Sigma(i=1)(m-2) a(i) < 1. h (x) is allowed to be singular at x = 0 and x = 1. The existence of positive solutions and multiple positive solutions is obtained by means of fixed point index theory. Similarly conclusions hold for some other m-point boundary value conditions.
