By means of the fixed point theory of strict set contraction operators, we establish a new existence theorem on multiple positive solutions to a singular boundary value problem for second-order impulsive differential equations with periodic boundary conditions in a Banach space. Moreover, an application is given to illustrate the main result. 1. Introduction The theory of impulsive differential equations describes processes that experience a sudden change of their state at certain moments. In recent years, a great deal of work has been done in the study of the existence of solutions for impulsive boundary value problems, by which a number of chemotherapy, population dynamics, optimal control, ecology, industrial robotics, and physics phenomena are described. For the general aspects of impulsive differential equations, we refer the reader to the classical monograph 1. For some general and recent works on the theory of impulsive differential equations, we refer the reader to 2–14. Meanwhile, the theory of ordinary differential equations in abstract spaces has become a new important branch see 15–18. So it is interesting and important to discuss the existence of positive solutions for impulsive boundary value problem in a Banach space. Let E, · be a real Banach space, J 0, 2π, 0 t0 < t1 < t2 < · · · < tm < tm1 2π, J0 0, t1 , and Ji ti , ti1 , i 1, . . . , m. Note that P CJ, E {u : u is a 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis map from J into E such that ut is continuous at t / tk and left continuous at t tk and utk exist, k 1, 2, . . . , m}, and it is also a Banach space with norm uP C suput. 1.1 t∈J Let the Banach space E be partially ordered by a cone P of E; that is, x ≤ y if and only if y − x ∈ P , and P CJ, E is partially ordered by K {u ∈ P CJ, E : ut ∈ P, t ∈ J} : u ≤ v if and only if v − u ∈ K; that is, ut ≤ vt for all t ∈ J. In this paper, we consider the following singular periodic boundary value problem with impulsive effects in Banach E −u t M2 ut ft, ut, t ∈ J, t / tk , Δu|ttk Ik utk , Δu ttk −I k utk , u0 u2π, k 1, 2, . . . , m, 1.2 u 0 u 2π, where M > 0 is constant, ft, u may be singular at t 0 and/or t 2π, f ∈ C0, 2π × P, P , Ik , I k ∈ CP, P , Δu|ttk utk − ut−k , Δu |ttk u tk − u t−k , k 1, 2, . . . , m, and ui tk resp., ui t−k denote the right limit resp., left limit of ui t at t tk , i 0, 1. In the special case where E R 0, ∞, and Ik I k 0, k 1, 2, . . . , m, problem 1.2 is reduced to the usual second-order periodic boundary value problem. For example, in 19, the periodic boundary value problem: −u t Mut ft, ut, u0 u2π, t ∈ 0, 2π, u 0 u 2π, 1.3 was proved to have at least one positive solution, by Jiang 19 . In 20, the authors studied the multiplicity of positive solutions for IBVP1.2 in E R ; the main tool is the theory of fixed point index. In 21, the author considers the following periodic boundary value problem of second-order integrodifferential equations of mixed type in Banach space: −u ft, u, T u, Su, Δu t ∈ 0, 2π, Δu|ttk Ik utk , ttk −I k utk , u0 u2π, k 1, 2, . . . , m, u 0 u 2π, 1.4 Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 where f ∈ CJ × E × E × E, E, Ik , I k ∈ CE, E, and the operators T , S are given by T ut t kt, susds, 0 Sut 2π k1 t, susds, 1.5 0 with k ∈ CD, R, D {t, s ∈ R2 : 0 ≤ s ≤ t ≤ 2π}, k1 ∈ CJ × J, R. By applying the monotone iterative technique and cone theory based on a comparison result, the author obtained an existence theorem of minimal and maximal solutions for the IBVP1.4. Motivated by the above facts, our aim is to study the multiplicity of positive solutions for IBVP1.2 in a Banach space. By means of the fixed point index theory of strict set contraction operators, we establish a new existence theorem on multiple positive solutions for IBVP1.2. Moreover, an application is given to illustrate the main result. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we present some basic lemmas and preliminary facts which will be needed in the sequel. Our main result and its proof are arranged in Section 3. An example is given to show the application of the result in Section 4. 2. Preliminaries Let Tr {x ∈ E : x ≤ r}, Br {u ∈ P CJ, E : uP C ≤ r} r > 0; for D ⊂ P CJ, E, we denote Dt {ut : u ∈ D} ⊂ Et ∈ J.α denotes the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness. Let P C1 J, E {u | u be a map from J into E such that ut is continuously differentiable at t / tk and left continuous at t tk and utk , u t−k , u tk exist, k 1, 2, . . . , m}. Evidently, P C1 J, E is a Banach space with norm uP C1 max uP C , u P C . 2.1 Let J J \ {t1 , t2 , . . . , tm }; a map u ∈ P C1 J, E ∩ C2 J , E is a solution of IBVP1.2 if it satisfies 1.2. Now, we first give the following lemmas in order to prove our main result. Lemma 2.1 see 17. Let K be a cone in real Banach space E, and let Ω be a nonempty bounded open convex subset of K. Suppose that A : Ω → K is a strict set contraction and AΩ ⊂ K. Then the fixed-point index iA, Ω, K 1. Lemma 2.2 see 21. u ∈ P C1 J, E ∩ C2 J , E is a solution of IBVP 1.2 if and only if u ∈ P CJ, E is a solution of the impulsive integral equation: ut 2π 0 Gt, sfs, usds m Gt, tk I k utk Ht, tk Ik utk , k1 2.2 4 Abstract and Applied Analysis where ⎧ −1 ⎨eM2π−ts eMt−s , Gt, s 2M e2πM − 1 ⎩eM2πt−s eMs−t , ⎧ −1 ⎨eM2π−ts − eMt−s , Ht, s 2 e2πM − 1 ⎩eMs−t − eM2πt−s , 0 ≤ s ≤ t ≤ 2π, 0 ≤ t ≤ s ≤ 2π, 2.3 0 ≤ s ≤ t ≤ 2π, 0 ≤ t < s ≤ 2π.

Abstract and Applied Analysis 5 A3 For any r > 0 and a, b ⊂ 0, 2π, f is uniformly continuous on a, b × Tr .

A5 For any x ∈ P , I k x ≥ MIk x; ◦ A6 P is a solid cone, and there exist u0 ∈ P , J0 a , b ⊂ J such that t ∈ J 0 , x ≥ u0 b imply ft, x ≥ htu0 , h ∈ CJ0 , 0, ∞, and l : l0 a hsds > 1. Define an operator A as follows: Aut 2π 0 Gt, sfs, usds m Gt, tk I k utk Ht, tk Ik utk , t ∈ J. k1 2.8 Lemma 2.3. Assuming (A1) and (A4) hold, then, for any r > 0, A : P CJ, P ∩ Br → P CJ, P is bounded and continuous. Proof. According to A1 and A4, we obtain that A is a bounded operator. In the following, we will show that A is continuous. Let {un }, {u} ⊂ P CJ, P ∩Br , and un − uP C → 0. Next we show that Aun − AuP C → 0. By A1, {Aun t} is equicontinuous on each Ji i 0, . . . , m. By the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem and 2.4, we have Aun t − Aut m 2π ≤ Gt, s fs, un s − fs, us ds Gt, tk I k un tk − I k utk 0 k1 m |Ht, tk |Ik un tk − Ik utk k1 ≤ l1 2π m fs, un s − fs, usds l1 I k un tk − I k utk 0 m 1 Ik un tk − Ik utk −→ 0 2 k1 k1 n −→ ∞. 2.9 In view of the Ascoli-Arzela theorem, {Aun } is a relatively compact set in P CJ, E. In the following we will verify that Aun − AuP C → 0 n → ∞. If this is not true, then there are ε0 > 0 and {uni } ⊂ {un } such that Auni − AuP C ≥ ε0 i 1, 2, . . .. Since {Aun } is a relatively compact set, there exists a subsequence of {Auni } which converges to v ∈ P CJ, P , without loss of generality, and we assume that limi → ∞ Auni v, that is, limi → ∞ Auni − vP C 0, so v Au, which imply a contradiction. Therefore A is continuous. 6 Abstract and Applied Analysis Lemma 2.4. Assuming (A1), (A3), and (A4) hold, then, for any R > 0, A : P CJ, P ∩ BR → P CJ, P is a strict set contraction operator. Proof. For any R > 0, S ⊂ P CJ, P ∩ BR , by A1, AS is bounded and equicontinuous on each Ji , i 0, . . . , m, and by 17, 2.10 αP C AS sup αASt, t∈J where ASt {Aut : u ∈ S, t ∈ J}. Let 2π D Gt, sfs, usds : u ∈ S , 0 Dδ 2π−δ 2.11 Gt, sfs, usds : u ∈ S , 0 < δ < min{π, t1 , 2π − tm }. δ By A1 and 2.4, for any u ∈ S, 2π 2π−δ Gt, sfs, usds − Gt, sfs, usds δ 0 ≤ l1 maxhu x∈TR δ gsds l1 maxhx 2π u∈TR 0 2.12 gsds. 2π−δ In view of 2.12 and A1, we have dH Dδ , D → 0 δ → 0 , where dH Dδ , D denotes the Hausdorff distance of D and Dδ . Therefore, lim αDδ αD. 2.13 δ → 0 Next we will estimate αDδ . Since 2π−δ Gt, sfs, usds ∈ 2π − 2δco Gt, sfs, us : s ∈ δ, 2π − δ , 2.14 δ thus 2π−δ αDδ α Gt, sfs, usds : u ∈ S δ ≤ 2π − δα co Gt, sfs, us : s ∈ δ, 2π − δ, u ∈ S ≤ 2πα Gt, sfs, us : s ∈ δ, 2π − δ, u ∈ S ≤ 2πl1 α fIδ × SIδ , where Iδ δ, 2π − δ, SIδ {ut : t ∈ Iδ , u ∈ S}. 2.15 Abstract and Applied Analysis 7 By A3 and A4, it is not difficult to prove that α fIδ × SIδ max α ft, SIδ ≤ LαSIδ ≤ LαSJ. t∈Iδ 2.16 By 17, we have LαSJ ≤ 2LαP C S. 2.17 Let δ → 0 , and making use of the fact that limδ → 0 αDδ αD, we obtain αD ≤ 2πl1 2LαP C S 4πLl1 αP C S. 2.18 It is clear that α α m Gt, tk I k utk : u ∈ S k1 m ≤ Ht, tk Ik utk : u ∈ S k1 ≤ Hk αP C S, 2.19 m 1 Lk αP C S. 2 k1 2.20 l1 m k1 Hence, according to 2.18–2.20, we have m 1 Lk αP C S. 4πLl1 l1 Hk 2 k1 k1 αP C AS ≤ m 2.21 By A4 and Lemma 2.3, A is a strict set contraction operator from P CJ, P into P CJ, P . 3. Main Result Theorem 3.1. Assuming that (A1)–(A6) hold, then the IBVP 1.2 has at least two positive solutions u1 and u2 satisfying u1 t ≥ lu0 t, for t ∈ J0 a , b , l > 1, 3.1 where l was specified in (A6). Proof. First we verify that there exists δ > 0 such that v ≥ δ for v ≥ u0 . If this is not true, then there exists {vn } ⊂ Ewhich satisfies vn ≥ u0 and vn < 1/n n 1, 2, . . ., so we have ◦ u0 ≤ θ, which is a contradiction with u0 ∈ P . By A2, there exist c > c, ck > ck , d > d, dk > dk , hk > hk , and ek > ek , and 0 < r1 < δ, r2 > max{δ, lu0 } 3.2 8 Abstract and Applied Analysis satisfy c l1 2π gsds l1 0 m m 1 c < 1, 2 k1 k hk k1 2π b : d l1 gsds l1 0 m ek k1 m 1 d < 1. 2 k1 k 3.3 3.4 For x ∈ Tr1 ∩ P , hx ≤ c x, Ik x ≤ ck x, I k x ≤ hk x. 3.5 Ik x ≤ dk x, I k x ≤ ek x. 3.6 For x ≥ r2 and x ∈ P , hx ≤ d x, Therefore, for any x ∈ P , we have hx ≤ d x M , Ik x ≤ dk x M , I k x ≤ ek x M , 3.7 where M max{M0 , M1 , . . . , Mm , K1 , . . . , Km }, M0 sup{hx : x ∈ Tr2 ∩ P }, Mk sup{Ik x : x ∈ Tr2 ∩ P }, Kk sup I k x : x ∈ Tr2 ∩ P k 1, 2, . . . , m. 3.8 2π Let r3 r2 1 − b−1 G, G M l1 0 gsds ml1 m/2, U1 {u ∈ P CJ, P : uP C < r1 }, U2 {u ∈ P CJ, P : uP C < r3 }, U3 {u ∈ P CJ, P : uP C < r3 , ut ≥ lu0 for t ∈ J0 and l > 1}. It is clear that U1 , U2 , U3 are nonempty, bounded, and convex open sets in P CJ, P , and U1 P CJ, P ∩ Br1 , U2 P CJ, P ∩ Br3 , and U3 {u ∈ U2 : ut ≥ lu0 , t ∈ J0 }. From 3.2, we obtain U1 ⊂ U2 , U3 ⊂ U2 , U1 ∩ U3 ∅. 3.9 According to Lemma 2.4, A : U2 → P CJ, P is a strict set contraction operator, and for u ∈ U2 , by 2.4 and 3.7, we obtain m 2π Gt, tk I k utk Ht, tk Ik utk Gt, sfs, usds Aut 0 k1 ≤ l1 2π 0 gsdshu m 1 l1 I k Ik 2 k1 Abstract and Applied Analysis 9 2π m m 1 gsds d u M l1 ek u M dk u M 2 0 k1 k1 2π 2π m m 1 m gsds l1 ek d u M l1 gsds ml1 d l1 2 k1 k 2 0 0 k1 ≤ l1 bu G ≤ br3 G < r3 . 3.10 Hence A U2 ⊂ U2 . 3.11 Similarly, A : U1 → P CJ, P is a strict set contraction operator, and for u ∈ U1 , by 3.3 and 3.5, we obtain Aut m 2π Gt, tk I k utk Ht, tk Ik utk Gt, sfs, usds 0 k1 ≤ c l1 2π gsdsu 0 c l1 m l1 hk u k1 2π 0 gsds l1 m hk k1 1 2 m 1 ck u 2 3.12 ck u k1 < u ≤ r1 , so A U1 ⊂ U1 . Let u ∈ U3 , by 3.11, we have AuP C < r3 . By 2.5, A5, and A6, for t ∈ J0 , Aut 2π Gt, sfs, usds 0 ≥ 2π k1 Gt, sfs, usds 0 ≥ m MGt, tk Ht, tk Ik utk k1 2π Gt, sfs, usds 0 m Gt, tk I k utk Ht, tk Ik utk 3.13 10 Abstract and Applied Analysis ≥ l0 ≥ l0 b a fs, usds b a hsds u0 lu0 . 3.14 So Au ∈ U3 , and A U3 ⊂ U3 . 3.15 According to 3.11–3.15 and Lemma 2.1, we have i A, Uj , P CJ, P 1 j 1, 2, 3 . 3.16 Hence i A, U2 \ U1 ∪ U3 , P CJ, P iA, U2 , P CJ, P − iA, U1 , P CJ, P − iA, U3 , P CJ, P 3.17 −1. Thus, A has two fixed points u1 and u2 in U3 and U2 \ U1 ∪ U3 , respectively, which means u1 t and u2 t are positive solution of the IBVP 1.2, where u1 t ≥ lu0 , for t ∈ J0 and l > 1. 4. Example To illustrate how our main result can be used in practice, we present an example. Example 4.1. Consider the following problem: x 1 999 n 2 t ln 1 xn1 , −xn t 4xn √ 3 2 π 3 t 1 1 , Δxn |t1/3 xn 8 3 1 1 Δxn t1/3 − xn , 4 3 xn 0 xn 2π, where xmn xn n 1, 2, . . . , m. xn 0 xn 2π, t ∈ J, 4.1 Abstract and Applied Analysis 11 Conclusion IBVP 4.1 has at least two positive solutions {x1n t} and {x2n t} such that x1n t > 1 for t ∈ π, 2π, n 1, 2, . . . , m. Proof. Let J 0, 2π, E Rm {x x1 , x2 , . . . , xm : xn ∈ R, n 1, 2, . . . , m}; then, E is a Banach space with norm x max1≤n≤m |xn |. Let P {x1 , x2 , . . . , xm : to IBVP 1.2, ft, x xn ≥ 0, n 1, 2, . . . , m}; then, √ P is a solid cone in E. Compared 2 f1 , f2 , . . . , fm , fn t, x 1/ t32 999/πt ln1 xn1 xn /3 is singular at t 0. Ix I1 x, I2 x, . . . , Im x, and In x 1/8xn 1/3. Ix I 1 x, . . . , I m x, and I n x 1/4xn 1/3, n 1, 2, . . . , m. Next we will√ verify that the conditions in Theorem 3.1 are satisfied. 2 xn /3. Let gt 1/ t, hx h1 x, h2 x, . . . , hm x, and hn x 6000 ln1 xn1 It is clear that ft, x ≤ gthx, for t ∈ 0, 2π and x ∈ E, so A1 is satisfied. By simple calculations, we have M 2, c d 1/3, c1 d1 1/8, h1 e1 1/4, 2π 2π gsds 5.01326, l0 0.00093, and l1 0.25. Hence, l1 0 gsdsc l1 h1 1/2c1 < 1; that 0 is, A2 is satisfied. Since E is a finite-dimensional space, it is obvious that A3 and A4 are satisfied. It is clear that I n x 1/4xn 1/3 and MIn x 2 × 1/8xn 1/3 1/4xn 1/3, so I n x MIn x; that is, A5 is satisfied. ◦ Let u0 1, 1, . . . , 1 ∈ P and J0 π, 2π ⊂ 0, 2π; for t ∈ J0 and x ≥ u0 , we have 1 fn t, x √ t x 3000 ln 2 999 n 2 t ln 1 xn1 > 3 2 . √ π 3 t 4.2 √ Let ht 3000 ln 2/ t; then, for t ∈ J0 and x ≥ u0 , we obtain that ft, x ≥ htu0 and 2π l0 π hsds > 1. Therefore A6 is satisfied. By Theorem 3.1, IBVP 4.1 has at least two positive solutions {x1n t} and {x2n t} and satisfies x1n t > 1, n 1, 2, . . . , m.
