By using the Schauder fixed point theorem and analysis method, we establish the existence of solutions for the m-point boundary value problem
Formula Not Shown Formula Not Shown where
b,ki>0(i=1,2,…,m−2),0<ξ1<ξ2<<ξm−2<1,
a(t) is allowed to be singular at
t=0,1. Under some conditions, we show that there exists a positive number
b* such that the problem has at least one positive solution for
0<b<b* and no solution for
b>b*.
