In this paper, we consider singular fourth-order two point boundary value problems $u^{(4)}$ (t) = f(t, u), 0 < t < 1, u(0) = u(l) = u'(0) = u'(l) = 0, where $f:(0,1){\times}(0,+{\infty}){\rightarrow}[0,+{\infty})$ may be singular at t = 0, 1 and u = 0. By using the upper and lower solution method, we obtained the existence of positive solutions to the above boundary value problems. An example is also given to illustrate the obtained theorems.

In this paper, by using fixed point theorems in cones, the existence of positive solutions is considered for nonlinear m-point boundary value problem for the following second-order dynamic equations on time scales $$u^{{\Delta}{\nabla}}(t)+a(t)f(t,u(t))=0,\;t{\in}(0,T),\;{\beta}u(0)-{\gamma}u^{\Delta}(0)=0,\;u(T)={\sum_{i=1}^{m-2}}\;a_iu({\xi}_i),\;m{\geq}3$$, where $a(t){\in}C_{ld}((0,T),\;[0,+{\infty}))$, $f{\in}C([0,T]{\times}[0,+{\infty}),\;(-{\infty},+{\infty}))$, the nonlinear term f is allowed to change sign. We obtain several existence theorems of positive solutions for the above boundary value problems. In particular, our criteria generalize and improve some known results [15] and the obtained conditions are different from related literature [14]. As an application, an example to demonstrate our results is given.

This manuscript is divided into three segments. In the first segment, we formulate a unique common fixed point theorem satisfying generalized Meir-Keeler contraction on partially ordered metric spaces and also give an example to demonstrate the usability of our result. In the second segment of the article, some common coupled fixed point results are derived from our main results. In the last segment, we investigate the solution of some periodic boundary value problems. Our results generalize, extend and improve several well-known results of the existing literature.

In this paper we define higher-order Stieltjes derivatives, and using Schaefer's fixed point theorem we investigate the existence of solutions for a class of differential equations involving second-order Stieltjes derivatives with two-point boundary conditions. The equations include ordinary and impulsive differential equations, and difference equations.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a singular system of nonlinear fractional differential equations with integral boundary conditions. We obtain existence and uniqueness results of solutions by using the properties of the Green's function, a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type, Guo-Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem in a cone. Some examples are included to show the applicability of our results.

This paper is concerned with a kind of boundary value problem for singular second order differential systems with Laplacian operators. Using a multiple fixed point theorem, sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of at least three positive solutions of this kind of boundary value problem are established. An example is presented to illustrate the main results.

This paper is concerned with a kind of non-homogeneous boundary value problems for singular second order differential systems with Laplacian operators. Using multiple fixed point theorems, sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of at least three solutions of this kind of boundary value problems are established. An example is presented to illustrate the main results.

In this article, we establish the existence of at least three unbounded positive solutions to a boundary-value problem of the nonlinear singular fractional differential equation. Our analysis relies on the well known fixed point theorems in the cones.

In this paper, we considered the following four-point boundary value problem $\{{x"(t)+h(t)f(t,x(t),x'(t))=0,\;0<t<1\atop%20x'(0)=ax(\xi),\;x'(1)=bx(\eta)}\$. where $0\;<\;{\xi}\;<\;{\eta}\;<\;1,\;{\delta}\;=\;ab{\xi}\;-\;ab{\eta}\;+\;a\;-\;b\;<\;0,\;0\;<\;a\;<\;\frac{1}{\xi},\;0\;<\;b\;<\;\frac{1}{\eta}$. After the discussion of the Green function of the corresponding homogeneous system, we establish some criteria for the existence of positive solutions by using the generalized Leggett-William's fixed point theorem. The interesting point is the expression of the Green function, which is a difficulty for multi-point BVP.

In this paper, we establish some sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions for a class of multi-point boundary value problem for fractional functional differential equations involving the Caputo fractional derivative. Our results are based on two fixed point theorems. Two examples are also provided to illustrate our main results.
