    A variant of Banach’s contraction principle in ordered Banach spaces

    No full text
    In this article we establish a version of Banach’s contraction principle in ordered Banach spaces. This version is adapted to prove existence and uniqueness results for an integral equation or a boundary value problem depending on the derivative

    No full text
    We give a complete description of the set of solutions to the boundary value problem {(φ(u))=f(u) in (0,1)u(0)=u(1)=0 \left\{ \begin{array}{c} -\left( \varphi \left( u^{\prime }\right) \right) ^{\prime }=f\left( u\right) \text{ in }\left( 0,1\right) \\ u\left( 0\right) =u\left( 1\right) =0 \end{array} \right. where φ\varphi is an odd increasing homeomorphism of R\Bbb{R} concave on R+\Bbb{R}^{+} and ff C(RR)\in C\left( \Bbb{R}\text{, }\Bbb{R}\right) is odd and superlinear

    Uniqueness of fixed point for sum of operators in ordered Banach spaces and application

    No full text
    In this article, we are concerned by existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for the sum of two operators A and B, defined on a closed convex subset of an ordered Banach space, where the order is induced by a normal and minihedral cone. In such a structure, an absolute value function is generated by the order and this provide the ability to introduce new versions of the concepts of lipschitzian and expansive mappings. Therefore we prove that if A is expansive and B is contractive, then the sum A + B has a unique fixed point

    Boundary-value Problems for the One-dimensional p-Laplacian with Even Superlinearity

    No full text
    This paper is concerned with a study of the quasilinear problem -(|u'|^{p-2}u')'= |u|^p-\lambda, in (0,1) u(0)=u(1)=0u(0) =u(1) =0, where p greater than 1 and λR\lambda \in {\Bbb R} are parameters. For λ\lambda positive, we determine a lower bound for the number of solutions and establish their nodal properties. For λ0\lambda \leq 0, we determine the exact number of solutions. In both cases we use a quadrature method.Mathematic

    We use a global bifurcation theorem to prove the existence of nodal solutions to the singular second-order two-point boundary-value problem \displaylines{ -( pu') '(t)=f(t,u(t))\quad t\in ( \xi ,\eta) , \cr au(\xi )-b\lim_{t\to\xi} p(t)u'(t)=0, \cr cu(\eta )+d\lim_{t\to\eta} p(t)u'(t)=0, } where ξ,η\xi ,\eta , a,b,c,da,b,c,d are real numbers with ξ<η\xi <\eta, a,b,c,d0a,b,c,d\geq 0 , p:(ξ,η)[0,+)p:( \xi ,\eta ) \to [ 0,+\infty) is a measurable function with ξη1/p(s)ds<\int_{\xi }^{\eta }1/p(s)\,ds<\infty and f:[ξ,η]×[0,+)[0,+)f:[ \xi ,\eta ] \times [ 0,+\infty) \to [ 0,+\infty ) is a Caratheodory function

    Fixed point theorems in the study of positive strict set-contractions

    No full text
    The author uses fixed point index properties and Inspired by the work in Benmezai and Boucheneb (see Theorem 3.8 in [3]) to prove new fixed point theorems for strict set-contraction defined on a Banach space and leaving invariant a con

    Sturm-Liouville BVPs with Caratheodory nonlinearities

    No full text
    In this article we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions for several classes of Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems having Caratheodory nonlinearities. Many results existing in the literature for such boundary value problems in the continuous framework will find in this work their extensions to the Caratheodory setting

    POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO A TWO POINT SINGULAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

    No full text
    Abstract. We employ fixed point index theory to establish existence results for positive solutions to the singular boundary value problem where a ∈ C 1 ((0,1),(0,∞)) , 1/a is integrable on any compact subset of (0,1] , b ∈ C((0,1) , [0,+∞)) does not vanish identically and is integrable on any compact subset of [0,1) , and f : As applications, existence and nonexistence criteria for positive radial solutions to some elliptic equations are deduced
