Introduction and the Main Results In this paper, we will consider the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions to a class of second-order singular m-point boundary value problems of the following differential equation: u t f t, u t,u t, t,,. with u α i u ) η i, u,.2 where <α i <, i, 2,...,m 2, <η <η 2 < <η <, are constants, α i <, m 3, and f satisfies the following hypothesis:

Remark.2. It follows from.3,.4 that u ) g f t, v, v, if u v>, v f t, u, u.7 v bf t, v, v, if v u>. u) When f t, u is increasing with respect to u, singular nonlinear m-point boundary value problems have been extensively studied in the literature, see 3. However, when f t, u, v is increasing on u, and is decreasing on v, the study on it has proceeded very slowly. The purpose of this paper is to fill this gap. In addition, it is valuable to point out that the nonlinearity f t, u, v may be singular at t, t and/orv. When referring to singularity we mean that the functions f in. are allowed to be unbounded at the points v, t, and/or t. A function u t C, C 2, is called a C, positive solution to. and.2 if it satisfies. and.2 u t >, for t,. AC, positive solution to. and.2 is called a smooth positive solution if u and u both exist u t > fort,. Sometimes, we also call a smooth solution a C, solution. It is worth stating here that a nontrivial C, nonnegative solution to the problem.,.2 must be a positive solution. In fact, it is a nontrivial concave function satisfying.2 which, of course, cannot be equal to zero at any point t,. To seek necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to the above problems is important and interesting, but difficult. Thus, researches in this respect are rare
3 Boundary Value Problems 3 up to now. In this paper, we will study the existence and uniqueness of smooth positive solutions to the second-order singular m-point boundary value problem. and.2. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of smooth positive solutions is given by constructing lower and upper solutions and with the maximal principle. Also, the uniqueness of the smooth positive solutions is studied. A function α t is called a lower solution to the problem.,.2, ifα t C, C 2, and satisfies α t f t, α t,α t, t,, α α i α ).8 η i, α. Upper solution is defined by reversing the above inequality signs. If there exist a lower solution α t and an upper solution β t to problem.,.2 such that α t β t, then α t,β t is called a couple of upper and lower solution to problem.,.2. To prove the main result, we need the following maximal principle. Lemma.3 maximal principle. Suppose that <η <η 2 < <η <b n <, n, 2,..., and F n {u t C,b n C 2,b n,u α iu η i, u b n }. Ifu F n such that u t, t,b n then u t, t,b n. Proof. Let u t δ t, t,b n,.9 u α i u ) η i r, u b n r 2,. then r, r 2, δ t, t,b n. By integrating.9 twice and noting., we have u t b n ) α i α iη i [ ) ] α i )t α i η i r 2 b n t r bn b n t bn G n t, s δ s ds b n ) α i α i G n ηi,s ) δ s ds, α iη i. where G n t, s t b n s, t s b n, b n s b n t, s t b n..2
4 4 Boundary Value Problems In view of. and the definition of G n t, s, we can obtain u t, t,b n. This completes the proof of Lemma.3. Now we state the main results of this paper as follows. Theorem.4. Suppose that H holds, then a necessary and sufficient condition for the problem. and.2 to have smooth positive solution is that < f s, s, s ds <..3 Theorem.5. Suppose that H and.3 hold, then the smooth positive solution to problem. and.2 is also the unique C, positive solution. 2. Proof of Theorem The Necessary Condition Suppose that w t is a smooth positive solution to the boundary value problem. and.2. We will show that.3 holds. It follows from w t f t, w t,w t, t,, 2. that w t is nonincreasing on,. Thus, by the Lebesgue theorem, we have f t, w t,w t dt w t dt w w <. 2.2 It is well known that w t can be stated as w t G t, s f s, w s,w s ds t ) α i α iη i α i G η i,s ) f s, w s,w s ds, 2.3 where t s, t s, G t, s s t, s t. 2.4
5 Boundary Value Problems 5 By 2.3 and.2 we have α i ) α iη i α i G η i,s ) [ )] f s, w s,w s ds α i w ηi, 2.5 therefore because of 2.3 and 2.5, [ )] w t t α i w ηi, t,. 2.6 Since w t is a smooth positive solution to. and.2, we have w t t w s ) ds max w t t, t,. 2.7 t, Let m α iw η i, M max t, w t. From 2.6, 2.7 it follows that m t w t M t, t,. 2.8 Without loss of generality we may assume that <m< <M.This together with the condition H implies f s, s, s ds f s, ) m w s, M w s ds ) g M b w s,w s ds <. m f s, 2.9 have On the other hand, notice that w t is a smooth positive solution to.,.2, we f t, w t,w t w t /, t,, 2. therefore, there exists a positive number t, such that f t,w t,w t >. Obviously, w t > and t >. It follows from.7 that ) w t g f t, t, t, if w t t, t <f t,w t,w t ) b t f t, t, t, if w t t. w t 2.
6 6 Boundary Value Problems Consequently f t, t, t >, which implies that f s, s, s ds >. 2.2 From 2.9 and 2.2 it follows that < f s, s, s <, 2.3 which is the required inequality The Existence of Lower and Upper Solutions Since g l /l 2 is integrable on,, thus g l lim inf. l l 2.4 Otherwise, if lim l inf g l /l m >, then there exists a real number X>, such that g l /l 2 m /2l when l>x,this contradicts with the condition that g l /l 2 is integrable on,. By condition H and 2.4 we have f t, ru, v h r f t, u, v, r,, 2.5 lim sup r lim r h r sup p p h p ) lim inf g ) p, 2.6 p p where h r g r,r,. Suppose that.3 holds. Let b t G t, s f s, s, s ds t α i α iη i α i G η i,s ) f s, s, s ds. 2.7 Since by.3, 2.7 we obviously have b t C, C 2,, b t f t, t, t, t,, 2.8 and there exists a positive number k< such that k t b t t, t,. 2.9 k
7 Boundary Value Problems 7 By 2.4 and 2.6 we see, if <l<kis sufficiently small, then h lk l, ) g lk l. 2.2 Let H t lb t, Q t b t, t,. 2.2 l Then from 2.9 and 2.2 we have lk t H t t Q t t, t, lk Consequently, with the aid of 2.2, 2.22 and the condition H we have H t f t, H t,h t f t, lk t, t lf t, t, t h lk l f t, t, t, Q t f t, Q t,q t f t, ) t, t f t, t, t lk l [ ) g ] f t, t, t. lk l From 2.7, 2.2 it follows that H α i H ) η i, H, 2.25 Q α i Q ) η i, Q, 2.26 therefore, imply that H t, Q t are lower and upper solutions to the problem. and.2, respectively The Sufficient Condition First of all, we define a partial ordering in C, C 2, by u v, if and only if u t v t, t,. 2.27
8 8 Boundary Value Problems Then, we will define an auxiliary function. For all u t C, C 2,, f t, H t,h t, g t, u t f t, u t,u t, f t, Q t,q t, if u t H t, if H t u t Q t, if u t Q t By the assumption of Theorem.4, we have that g :,,, is continuous. Let {b n } be a sequence satisfying η <b < <b n <b n < <, and b n as n, and let {r n } be a sequence satisfying H b n r n Q b n, n, 2, For each n, let us consider the following nonsingular problem: u t g t, u t, t,b n, u α i u ) η i, u bn r n. 2.3 Obviously, it follows from the proof of Lemma.3 that problem 2.3 is equivalent to the integral equation ) α i t α iη i )r n u t A n u t b n ) α i α iη i bn G n t, s g s, u s ds b n t bn b n ) α i α i G n ηi,s ) g s, u s ds, α iη i t,b n, 2.3 where G n t, s is defined in the proof of Lemma.3. It is easy to verify that A n : X n X n C,b n is a completely continuous operator and A n X n is a bounded set. Moreover, u C,b n is a solution to 2.3 if and only if A n u u. Using the Schauder s fixed point theorem, we assert that A n has at least one fixed point u n C 2,b n. We claim that H t u n t Q t, t,b n From this it follows that u t f t, u t,u t, t,b n. 2.33
9 Boundary Value Problems 9 Suppose by contradiction that u n t Q t is not satisfied on,b n.let z t Q t u n t, t,b n, 2.34 therefore z t min z t < t,b n Since by the definition of Q t and 2.3 we obviously have t /, t / b n. Let c inf{t z t <, t t,t }, d sup{t 2 z t <, t t,t 2 } So, when t c, d, we have Q t <u n t, and g t, u n t f t, Q t,q t, u n t g t, Q t, 2.37 Q t g t, Q t Q t f t, Q t,q t. Therefore z t Q t u n t, t c, d, that is, z t is an upper convex function in c, d. By 2.3 and 2.36, forc, d we have the following two cases: i z c z d, ii z c <, z d. For case i : it is clear that z t, t c, d, this is a contradiction. For case ii : in this case c, z t. Since z t is decreasing on c, d, thus, z t, t t,d, that is, z t is decreasing on t,d. From z d, we see z t, which is in contradiction with z t <. From this it follows that u n t Q t, t,b n. Similarly, we can verify that H t u n t, t,b n. Consequently 2.32 holds. Using the method of 4 and 5, Theorem 3.2, we can obtain that there is a C, positive solution w t to.,.2 such that H t w t Q t, and a subsequence of {u n t } converges to w t on any compact subintervals of,.
10 Boundary Value Problems 3. Proof of Theorem.5 Suppose that u t and u 2 t are C, positive solutions to. and.2, and at least one of them is a smooth positive solution. If u t / u 2 t for any t,, without loss of generality, we may assume that u 2 t >u t for some t,. Let T inf{t t <t,u 2 t >u t, t t,t }, S sup{t 2 t t 2 <, u 2 t >u t, t t,t 2 }, 3. y t u t u 2 t u 2 t u t, t,. It follows from 3. that T<S, u 2 t u t, t T, S. 3.2 By.2, it is easy to check that there exist the following two possible cases: u T u 2 T, u S u 2 S, 2 u T <u 2 T, u S u 2 S. Assume that case holds. By u i t on,, it is easy to see that u i T i, 2 exist finite or, moreover, one of them must be finite. The same conclusion is also valid for u i S i, 2. It follows from 3.2 that u 2 t u t t T, 3.3 consequently u 2 T u T, u T is finite. 3.4 Similarly u 2 S u S, u S is finite. 3.5 From 3., 3.4, and 3.5 we have lim inf t T y t lim sup y t. t S 3.6 On the other hand, 3.2,.7, and condition H yield f t, u 2 t,u 2 t g ) u2 t f t, u t,u t u t u 2 t u t f t, u t,u t, t T, S, 3.7
11 Boundary Value Problems that is, therefore From this it follows that f t, u 2 t,u 2 t u 2 t f t, u t,u t, t T, S, 3.8 u t u t u t u 2 t, t T, S. 3.9 u 2 t y t u t u 2 t u 2 t u t, t T, S. 3. If y t on T, S, then, by 3.6 we have y t, and then u 2 t /u t, which imply that there exists a positive number c such that u 2 t cu t on T, S. It follows from 3.2 that c>, therefore T, S. Substituting u 2 t cu t into. and using condition H, we have cf t, u t,u t f t, cu t,cu t g c f t, u t,u t, t,. 3. Noticing 3. and f t, u t,u t /, t,, we have c g c, 3.2 which contradicts with the condition that g c <c.therefore, y t andy t / on T, S. Thus, y T <y S, which contradicts with 3.6. So case is impossible. By analogous methods, we can obtain a contradiction for case 2. Sou t u 2 t for any t,, which implies that the result of Theorem.5 holds. 4. Concerned Remarks and Applications Remark 4.. The typical function satisfying H is f t, u, u where a i,b j C,, <λ i <, μ j >, i, 2,...,n, j, 2,...,m. n a i t u λ i m j b j t u μ j, Remark 4.2. Condition H includes e-concave function see 6 as special case. For example, Liu and Yu 7 consider the existence and uniqueness of positive solution to a class of singular boundary value problem under the following condition: f t, λu, v ) λ α f t, u, v, u, v >, λ,, 4. λ where α, and f t, u, v is nondecreasing on u, nonincreasing on v. Clearly, condition H is weaker than the above condition 4..
12 2 Boundary Value Problems In fact, for any λ, from 4. it follows that f t, λu, v f t, λu, λ ) v λ α f t, u, v. 4.2 On the other hand, for any <λ<, from 4. it follows that f t, u, v f t, λu, λ v ) λ α f t, u, λv, λ 4.3 that is, f t, u, λv λ α f t, u, v. In what follows, by using the results obtained in this paper, we study the boundary value problem u t μt γ t l ) u α t u β t A, <t<, u α i u 4.4 ) η i, u, where μ>, α >, β <, A. We have the following theorem. Theorem 4.3. A necessary and sufficient condition for problem 4.4 to have smooth positive solution is that max { γ α, l α, γ β, l β, γ, l } <. 4.5 Moreover, when the positive solution exists, it is unique. Remark 4.4. Consider. and the following singular m-point boundary value conditions: u, u α i u ) η i. 4.6 By analogous methods, we have the following results. Assume that u t is a C, positive solution to. and 4.6, then u t can be stated u t G t, s f s, u s,u s t α iη i α i G η i,s ) f s, u s,u s ds, 4.7 where G t, s is defined in 2.4. Theorem 4.5. Suppose that H holds, then a necessary and sufficient condition for the problem. and 4.6 to have smooth positive solution is that < f s, s, s ds <. 4.8
