Abstract

The singular boundary value problem {(Φ(u′))′ + q(t)g(t,u) = 0, 0 < t < 1, u(0) = 0, u(1) + φ(u′(1)) = 0 is studied in this paper; here Φ(s) = |s|p-2s, p > 1, and φ is a continuous, strictly increasing odd function defined on (-∞, +∞). The singularity may occur at u = 0 or t = 0, and the function g may be superlinear at u = ∞ and may change signs. The existence of solutions is obtained via an upper and lower solutions method and existence principles.
