Positive Solutions to a Generalized Second-Order Difference Equation with Summation Boundary Value Problem
2012
Journal of Applied Mathematics
By using Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, we study the existence of positive solutions to the three-point summation boundary value problemΔ2u(t-1)+a(t)f(u(t))=0,t∈{1,2,...,T},u(0)=β∑s=1ηu(s),u(T+1)=α∑s=1ηu(s), wherefis continuous,T≥3is a fixed positive integer,η∈{1,2,...,T-1},0<α<(2T+2)/η(η+1),0<β<(2T+2-αη(η+1))/η(2T-η+1),andΔu(t-1)=u(t)-u(t-1). We show the existence of at least one positive solution iffis either superlinear or sublinear.
