In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of positive solutions for the boundary value problems of the form; $$(1) u"(t) + q(t)g(u(t)) = 0, 0 < t < 1 $$ $$ u(0) = 0 = u(1), $$ where q is singular at 0 and /or 1.or 1.

In this paper, the nonlinear matrix equation $$X+\sum_{i=1}^{m}A_i^*X^{-q}A_i=Q(0<q{\leq}1)$$ is investigated. Some necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for the existence of positive definite solutions for the matrix equation are derived. Two iterative methods for the maximal positive definite solution are proposed. A perturbation estimate and an explicit expression for the condition number of the maximal positive definite solution are obtained. The theoretical results are illustrated by numerical examples.

Based on Ricatti equation $XA^{-1}X=B$ for two (positive invertible) operators A and B which has the geometric mean $A{\sharp}B$ as its solution, we consider a cubic equation $X(A{\sharp}B)^{-1}X(A{\sharp}B)^{-1}X=C$ for A, B and C. The solution X = $(A{\sharp}B){\sharp}_{\frac{1}{3}}C$ is a candidate of the geometric mean of the three operators. However, this solution is not invariant under permutation unlike the geometric mean of two operators. To supply the lack of the property, we adopt a limiting process due to Ando-Li-Mathias. We define reasonable geometric means of k operators for all integers $k{\geq}2$ by induction. For three positive operators, in particular, we define the weighted geometric mean as an extension of that of two operators.

In this article, we study a reaction-diffusion system with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, which describing a three-species food chain model. Under some conditions, the predator-prey subsystem (u₁ ≡ 0) has a unique positive solution (${\bar{u_2}}$, ${\bar{u_3}}$). By using the birth rate of the prey r1 as a bifurcation parameter, a connected set of positive solutions of our system bifurcating from semi-trivial solution set (r₁, (0, ${\bar{u_2}}$, ${\bar{u_3}}$)) is obtained. Results are obtained by the use of degree theory in cones and sub and super solution techniques.

In this paper, we are concerned with the minimal positive solution to system of the nonlinear matrix equations $A_1X^2+B_1Y +C_1=0$ and $A_2Y^2+B_2X+C_2=0$, where $A_i$ is a positive matrix or a nonnegative irreducible matrix, $C_i$ is a nonnegative matrix and $-B_i$ is a nonsingular M-matrix for i = 1, 2. We apply Newton's method to system and present a modified Newton's iteration which is validated to be efficient in the numerical experiments. We prove that the sequences generated by the modified Newton's iteration converge to the minimal positive solution to system of nonlinear matrix equations.

In this paper, a third-order three-point boundary value problem on time scales is considered. We establish criteria for the existence of a solution and a positive solution by using the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem. An example is also given to illustrate our results.

In this paper, we consider a boundary value problem for a sixth order difference equation. We prove the monotone behavior of the eigenvalue of the problem as the coefficients in the difference equation change values and the existence of a positive solution for a class of problems.

In this paper, a homotopy continuation method for obtaining the unique Hermitian positive definite solution of the nonlinear matrix equation $X-{\sum_{i=1}^{m}}A^{\ast}_iX^{-p_i}A_i=I$ with $p_i$ > 1 is proposed, which does not depend on a good initial approximation to the solution of matrix equation.

The non-existence and existence of the positive solution for the generalized cooperation biological model for two species of animals $${\Delta}u+u(a-bu+g(v))=0\;in\;{\Omega}\\{\Delta}v+v(d+h(u)-cv)=0\;in\;{\Omega}\\u=v=0\;on\;{\partial}{\Omega}$$ are investigated. The techniques used in this paper are elliptic theory, upper-lower solutions, maximum principles and spectrum estimates. The arguments also rely on some detailed properties for the solution of logistic equations.
