The Existence of Positive Solutions of Singular Initial-Value Problem for Second Order Differential Equations-2
Abstract
We consider the singular initial value problem for the second order differential equation. We interested in the existence of positive solutions and proved an easily applicable theorem on the existence of positive solutions to initial-value problems for second-order nonlinear singular differential equations. The previously established result on the existence of positive solution by Agarwal and O'Regan is not easy for the applications due to very complex definition of a new function and their properties in the statement of their theorem. We used the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem and the Schauder--Tychonoff theorem in the proof of the main result. The main result can be easily applied for the singular and regular type of problems.
