The existence of positive solutions for Neumann boundary value problem of second-order tk , −Δu |ttk Ik utk , impulsive differential equations −u t Mut ft, ut, t ∈ J, t / k 1, 2, . . . , m, u 0 u 1 θ, in an ordered Banach space E was discussed by employing the fixed point index theory of condensing mapping, where M > 0 is a constant, J 0, 1, f ∈ CJ ×K, K, Ik ∈ CK, K, k 1, 2, . . . , m, and K is the cone of positive elements in E. Moreover, an application is given to illustrate the main result. 1. Introduction The theory of impulsive differential equations is a new and important branch of differential equation theory, which has an extensive physical, chemical, biological, engineering background and realistic mathematical model, and hence has been emerging as an important area of investigation in the last few decades; see 1. Correspondingly, boundary value problems of second-order impulsive differential equations have been considered by many authors, and some basic results have been obtained; see 2–7. But many of them obtained extremal solutions by monotone iterative technique coupled with the method of upper and lower solutions; see 2–4. The research on positive solutions is seldom and most in real space R; see 5–7. In this paper, we consider the existence of positive solutions to the second-order impulsive differential equation Neumann boundary value problem in an ordered Banach space E: −u t Mut ft, ut, −Δu |ttk Ik utk , t ∈ J, t / tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, u 0 u 1 θ, 1.1 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis where M > 0 is a constant, f ∈ CJ × E, E, J 0, 1; 0 < t1 < t2 < · · · < tm < 1; Ik ∈ CE, E is an impulsive function, k 1, 2, . . . , m. Δu |ttk denotes the jump of u t at t tk , that is, Δu |ttk u tk − u t−k , where u tk and u t−k represent the right and left limits of u t at t tk , respectively. In the special case where E R 0, ∞, Ik 0, k 1, 2, . . . , m, NBVP 1.1 has been proved to have positive solutions; see 8, 9. Motivated by the aforementioned facts, our aim is to study the positive solutions for NBVP 1.1 in a Banach space by fixed point index theory of condensing mapping. Moreover, an application is given to illustrate the main result. As far as we know, no work has been done for the existence of positive solutions for NBVP 1.1 in Banach spaces. 2. Preliminaries Let E be an ordered Banach space with the norm · and partial order ≤, whose positive cone K {x ∈ E | x ≥ θ} is normal with normal constant N. Let J 0, 1; 0 t0 < t1 < t2 < · · · < tm < tm1 1; Jk tk−1 , tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m 1, J J \ {t1 , t2 , . . . , tm }. Let P C1 J, E {u ∈ CJ, E | u t is continuous at t / tk , and left continuous at t tk , and u tk exists, k 1, 2, . . . , m}. Evidently, PC1 J, E is a Banach space with the norm uPC1 max{utC , u PC }, where uC supt∈J ut, u PC supt∈J u t; see 2. An abstract function u ∈ PC1 J, E ∩ C2 J , E is called a solution of NBVP 1.1 if ut satisfies all the equalities of 1.1. Let CJ, E denote the Banach space of all continuous E-value functions on interval J with the norm uC supt∈J ut. Let α· denote the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness of the bounded set. For the details of the definition and properties of the measure of noncompactness, see 10, 11. For any B ⊂ CJ, E and t ∈ J, set Bt {ut | u ∈ B} ⊂ E. If B is bounded in CJ, E, then Bt is bounded in E, and αBt ≤ αB. Now, we first give the following lemmas in order to prove our main results. Lemma 2.1 see 12. Let B ⊂ CJ, E be equicontinuous. Then αBt is continuous on J, and αB max αBt αBJ. t∈J 2.1 Lemma 2.2 see 13. Let B {un } ⊂ CJ, E be a bounded and countable set. Then αBt is Lebesgue integral on J, and α un tdt | n ∈ N ≤ 2 αBtdt. J 2.2 J Lemma 2.3 see 14. Let D ⊂ E be bounded. Then there exists a countable set D0 ⊂ D, such that αD ≤ 2αD0 . Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 To prove our main results, for any h ∈ CJ, E, we consider the Neumann boundary value problem NBVP of linear impulsive differential equation in E: −u t Mut ht, −Δu |ttk yk , t ∈ J , 2.3 k 1, 2, . . . , m, u 0 u 1 θ, where M > 0, yk ∈ E, k 1, 2, . . . , m. Lemma 2.4. For any h ∈ CJ, E, M > 0, and yk ∈ E, k 1, 2, . . . , m, the linear NBVP 2.3 has a unique solution u ∈ P C1 J, E ∩ C2 J , E given by ut 1 Gt, shsds 0 m Gt, tk yk , 2.4 k1 where √ √ ⎧ cosh M1 − t cosh Ms ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ , 0 ≤ s ≤ t ≤ 1, √ √ ⎪ ⎨ M sinh M Gt, s √ √ ⎪ ⎪ cosh Mt cosh M1 − s ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ , 0 ≤ t < s ≤ 1. √ √ M sinh M 2.5 Proof.

Therefore, the conclusion of Lemma 2.4 holds. 6 Abstract and Applied Analysis By 2.5, it is easy to verify that Gt, s has the following property: √ cosh2 M ≤ Gt, s ≤ √ √ √ √ . M sinh M M sinh M 1 2.17 Evidently, CJ, E is also an ordered Banach space with the partial order ≤ reduced by the positive cone CJ, K {u ∈ CJ, E | ut ≥ θ, t ∈ J}. CJ, K is also normal with the same normal constant N. Define an operator A : CJ, K → CJ, K as follows: Aut 1 Gt, sfs, usds 0 m Gt, tk Ik utk . 2.18 k1 Clearly, A : CJ, K → CJ, K is continuous, and the positive solution of NBVP 1.1 is the nontrivial fixed point of operator A. However, the integral operator A is noncompactness in general Banach space. In order to employ the topological degree theory and the fixed point theory of condensing mapping, there demands that the nonlinear f and impulsive function Ik satisfy some noncompactness measure condition. Thus, we suppose the following. P 0 For any R > 0, fJ × KR and Ik KR are bounded and α ft, D ≤ LαD, αIk D ≤ Mk αD, k 1, 2, . . . , m, 2.19 where KR K ∩ Bθ, R, D ⊂ K countable set, √ is arbitrarily √ √ L > 0 and Mk ≥ 0 are counsants M / M sinh M < 1. and satisfy 4L/M 2cosh2 M m k k1 Lemma 2.5. Suppose that condition P 0 is satisfied; then A : CJ, K → CJ, K is condensing. Proof. Since AB is bounded and equicontinuous for any bounded and nonrelative compact set B ⊂ CJ, K, by Lemma 2.3, there exists a countable set B1 {un } ⊂ B, such that αAB ≤ 2αAB1 . 2.20 By assumption P 0 and Lemma 2.1, 1 m αAB1 t α Gt, sfs, un sds Gt, tk Ik un tk 0 k1 1 m ≤α Gt, sfs, un sds Gt, tk Ik un tk α 0 ≤2 1 0 k1 m Gt, sα fs, B1 s ds Gt, tk αIk B1 tk k1 Abstract and Applied Analysis ≤2 1 7 Gt, sLαB1 sds 0 ≤ 2L m Gt, tk Mk αB1 tk k1 1 Gt, sdsαB1 m Mk Gt, tk αB1 0 k1 √ 2 cosh M m 2L k1 Mk αB1 √ αB1 √ M M sinh M √ m 2 2L cosh M k1 Mk αB1 . √ √ M M sinh M ≤ 2.21 Since AB1 is equicontinuous, by Lemma 2.1, we have αAB1 max αAB1 t ≤ t∈J √ m 2 2L cosh M k1 Mk αB1 . √ √ M M sinh M 2.22 Combining 2.20 and P 0, we have αAB ≤ 2αAB1 ≤ √ m 2 4L 2cosh M k1 Mk αB. √ √ M M sinh M 2.23 Hence, A : CJ, K → CJ, K is condensing. Let P be a cone in CJ, K defined by P {u ∈ CJ, K | ut ≥ σuτ, ∀t, τ ∈ J}, 2.24 √ where σ 1/cosh2 M. Lemma 2.6. For any fJ, K ⊂ K, ACJ, K ⊂ P . Proof. For any u ∈ CJ, K, t, τ ∈ J, by 2.18 and the second inequality of 2.17, we have Auτ 1 Gτ, sfs, usds 0 √ 2 M ≤√ √ M sinh M cosh 1 0 m Gτ, tk Ik utk k1 m fs, usds Ik utk . k1 2.25 8 Abstract and Applied Analysis By this, 2.18, and the first inequality of 2.17, we have Aut 1 Gt, sfs, usds 0 ≥√ 1 √ M sinh M 1 m Gt, tk Ik utk k1 fs, usds 0 m Ik utk 2.26 k1 ≥ σAuτ. Hence, ACJ, K ⊂ P . Thus, for any fJ, K ⊂ K, A : P → P is condensing mapping; the positive solution of NBVP 1.1 is equivalent to the nontrivial fixed point of A in P . For 0 < r < R < ∞, let Pr {u ∈ P | uC < r}, and ∂Pr {u ∈ P | uC r}, which is the relative boundary bound of Pr in P . Denote that Pr,R PR \ Pr ; then the fixed point of A in Pr,R is the positive solution of NBVP 1.1. We will use the fixed point theory of condensing mapping to find the fixed point of A in Pr,R . Let X be a Banach space and let P ⊂ X be a cone in X. Assume that Ω is a bounded open subset of X and let ∂Ω be its bound. Let Q : P ∩ Ω → P be a condensing mapping. If Qu /u for every u ∈ P ∩ ∂Ω, then the fixed point index iQ, P ∩ Ω, P is defined. If iQ, P ∩ Ω, P / 0, then Q has a fixed point in P ∩ Ω. As the fixed point index theory of completely continuous mapping, see 10, 11, we have the following lemmas that are needed in our argument for condensing mapping. Lemma 2.7. Let Q : P → P be condensing mapping; if u/ λAu, ∀u ∈ ∂Pr , 0 < λ ≤ 1, 2.27 then iQ, Pr , P 1. Lemma 2.8. Let Q : P → P be condensing mapping; if there exists v0 ∈ P, v0 / θ, such that u − Au / τv0 , ∀u ∈ ∂Pr , τ ≥ 0, 2.28 then iQ, Pr , P 0. 3.

Abstract and Applied Analysis 9 Theorem 3.1. Let E be an ordered Banach space, whose positive cone K is normal, f ∈ CJ × K, K, and Ik ∈ CK, K, k 1, 2, . . . , m. Suppose that conditions P 0 and P 1 or P 2 are satisfied; then the NBVP 1.1 has at least one positive solution. Proof. We show, respectively, that the operator A defined by 2.18 has a nontrivial fixed point in two cases that P 1 is satisfied and P 2 is satisfied. Case 1. Assume that P 1 is satisfied; let 0 < r < δ, where δ is the constant in condition P 1, to prove that A satisfies ∀u ∈ ∂Pr , 0 < λ ≤ 1. u/ λAu, 3.1 If 3.1 is not true, then there exist u0 ∈ ∂Pr and 0 < λ0 ≤ 1, such that u0 λ0 Au0 ; by the definition of A, u0 t satisfies −u0 t Mu0 t λ0 ft, u0 t, −Δu0 |ttk λ0 Ik u0 tk , t ∈ J, t / tk , k 1, 2, . . . , m, 3.2 u0 0 u0 1 θ. Integrating 3.2 from 0 to 1, using i of assumption P 1, we have M − a 1 u0 tdt ≤ 0 m ak u0 tk . 3.3 k1 Since u0 ∈ P , for any t, s ∈ J, by the definition of P , we have u0 t ≥ σu0 s, u0 tk ≤ 1/σu0 s, and thus m σM − au0 s ≤ k1 σ ak u0 s, 3.4 2 that is; M − a m k1 ak /σ u0 s ≤ θ. So we obtain that u0 s ≤ θ in J, which contracts with u0 ∈ ∂Pr . Hence 3.1 is satisfied; by Lemma 2.7, we have iA, Pr , P 1. 3.5 Let e ∈ CJ, K, e 1, v0 t ≡ e, and obviously v0 ∈ P . We show that if R is large enough, then u − Au / τv0 , ∀u ∈ ∂PR , τ ≥ 0. 3.6 10 Abstract and Applied Analysis In fact, if there exist u0 ∈ ∂PR , τ0 ≥ 0 such that u0 − Au0 τ0 v0 , then Au0 u0 − τ0 v0 ; by the definition of A, u0 t satisfies −u0 t Mu0 t − Mτ0 v0 ft, u0 t, −Δu0 |ttk Ik u0 tk , t ∈ J, t / tk , 3.7 k 1, 2, . . . , m, u0 0 u0 1 θ. By ii of assumption P 1, we have −u0 t Mu0 t ft, u0 t Mτ0 v0 ≥ bu0 t − h0 t, t ∈ J . 3.8 Integrating on J and using ii of assumption P 1, we have b − M 1 u0 tdt 0 m bk u0 tk ≤ 1 h0 tdt m 0 k1 yk . 3.9 k1 If b > M, for any t, s ∈ J, by the definition of P , we have u0 t ≥ σu0 s; u0 tk ≥ σu0 s; thus σb − M σ m bk u0 s ≤ 1 k1 By σb − M σ m k1 h0 tdt 0 m yk . 3.10 k1 bk > 0 and the normality of cone K, we have N h0 C m k1 yk R1 . u0 C ≤ σb − M σ m k1 bk 3.11 If b ≤ M, then for any t, s ∈ J, by the definition of P , we have u0 t ≤ 1/σu0 s, u0 tk ≥ σu0 s; thus By b σ 2 m k1 1 m m b − M σ bk u0 s ≤ h0 tdt yk . σ 0 k1 k1 3.12 bk > M, and the normality of K, we have N h0 C m k1 yk R2 . u0 C ≤ b − M/σ σ m k1 bk 3.13 Let R > max{R1 , R2 , r}; then 3.6 is satisfied; by Lemma 2.8, we have iA, PR , P 0. 3.14 Abstract and Applied Analysis 11 Combining 3.5, 3.14, and the additivity of fixed point index, we have iA, Pr,R , P iA, PR , P − iA, Pr , P −1 / 0. 3.15 Therefore A has a fixed point in Pr,R , which is the positive solution of NBVP 1.1. Case 2. Assume that P 2 is satisfied; let 0 < r < δ, where δ is the constant in condition P 2, to proof that A satisfies u − Au / τv0 , ∀u ∈ ∂Pr , τ ≥ 0, 3.16 where v0 t e ∈ P, e / θ. In fact, if there exists u0 ∈ ∂Pr and τ0 ≥ 0, such that u0 − Au0 τ0 v0 , then u0 satisfies 3.7 and i of condition P 2, and we have −u0 t Mu0 t ft, u0 t Mτ0 v0 ≥ bu0 t, t ∈ J . 3.17 Integrating on J and using i of assumption P 2, we have b − M 1 u0 tdt 0 m bk u0 tk ≤ θ. 3.18 k1 If b > M, for any t, s ∈ J, by the definition of P , we have u0 t ≥ σu0 s, u0 tk ≥ σu0 s, for all t, s ∈ J, and thus σb − M σ m bk u0 s ≤ θ. 3.19 k1 By σb − M σ m k1 bk > 0, we obtain that u0 s ≤ θ, which contracts with u0 ∈ ∂Pr . Hence 3.16 is satisfied. If b ≤ M, for any t, s ∈ J, by the definition of P , we have u0 t ≤ 1/σu0 s, u0 tk ≥ σu0 s, for all t, s ∈ J, and thus m 1 b − M σ bk u0 s ≤ θ. σ k1 3.20 By b σ 2 m k1 bk > M, we obtain that u0 s ≤ θ, which contracts with u0 ∈ ∂Pr . Hence 3.16 is satisfied. Hence, by Lemma 2.8, we have iA, Pr , P 0. 3.21 Next, we show that if R is large enough, then u/ λAu, ∀u ∈ ∂PR , 0 < λ ≤ 1. 3.22 12 Abstract and Applied Analysis In fact, if there exists u0 ∈ ∂PR and 0 < λ0 ≤ 1 such that u0 λ0 Au0 , then u0 satisfies 3.2. Integrating 3.2 on J, and using ii of P 2, we have M − a 1 u0 tdt − 0 1 m m ak u0 tk ≤ h0 tdt yk . 0 k1 3.23 k1 For any t, s ∈ J, by the definition of P , we have u0 t ≥ σu0 s, u0 tk ≤ 1/σu0 s, for all t, s ∈ J, and thus By a m k1 1 m m 1 σM − a − ak u0 s ≤ h0 tdt yk . σ k1 0 k1 3.24 ak /σ 2 < M, we have 1 u0 s ≤ 0 h0 tdt m yk m k1 σM − a − 1/σ k1 ak . 3.25 By the normality of K, we have 1 y N 0 h0 tdt m k k1 . m u0 s ≤ σM − a − 1/σ k1 ak 3.26 N h0 C m k1 yk R3 . u0 C ≤ σM − a − 1/σ m k1 ak 3.27 Thus Let R > max{R3 , r}; then 3.22 is satisfied; by Lemma 2.7, we have iA, PR , P 1. 3.28 Combining 3.21, 3.28, and the additivity of fixed index, we have iA, Pr,R , P iA, PR , P − iA, Pr , P 1. 3.29 Therefore A has a fixed point in Pr,R , which is the positive solution of NBVP 1.1. Remark 3.2. The conditions P 1 and P 2 are a natural extension of suplinear condition and sublinear condition in Banach space E. Hence if Ik θ, then Theorem 3.1 improves and extends the main results in 8, 9. Abstract and Applied Analysis 13 4. Example We provide an example to illustrate our main result. Example 4.1. Consider the following problem: ∂2 − 2 wt, x wt, x ∂t −Δ 1 1 wt, x, t ∈ J , x ∈ I, 100 1 1 w , x , x ∈ I, 100 2 et−s w2 s, xds 0 ∂ wt, x|t1/2 ∂t ∂ ∂ w0, x w1, x 0, ∂t ∂t 4.1 x ∈ I, where J 0, 1, J J \ {1/2}, I 0, T , and T > 0 is a constant. Conclusion Problem 4.1 has at least one positive solution. Proof. Let E CI, and K {w ∈ CI | wx ≥ 0, x ∈ I}; then E is a Banach space with norm w maxt∈I |wx|, and K is a positive cone of E. Let ut wt, ·; then the problem 1 4.1 can be transformed into the form of NBVP 1.1, where M 1, ft, u 0 et−s u2 sds 1/100ut, and I1 u1/2 1/100u1/2. Evidently CJ, E is a Banach space with norm uC maxt∈J ut, and CJ, K is positive cone of CJ, E. Let P {u ∈ CJ, K | ut ≥ σus, t, s ∈ J}, where σ 1/cosh2 1; then P is a cone in CJ, K, and for any u ∈ P, t ∈ J, we have σuC ≤ ut ≤ uC . Next, we will verify that the conditions P 0 and P 1 in Theorem 3.1 are satisfied. It is easy to verify that for any R > 0, fJ × KR and I1 KR are bounded. Let gt, u 1 t−s 2 e u sds; then g is completely continuous. So for any countable bounded set D ⊂ K, 0 we have 1 1 αD αD, α ft, D ≤ α gt, D 100 100 αI1 D 1 αD, 100 and for L √ 1/100, and M1 1/100, by simple calculations, 4L/M 2cosh2 √ M sinh M < 1. So condition P 0 is satisfied. Let δ 1/100; then for u ∈ Pδ , we have ft, u ≤ δ 1 1 δe − 1 1 ut ut ≤ ut, σ 100 σ 100 1 1 1 1 u ut. I1 u ≤ 2 100 2 100σ 0 4.2 √ M M1 / et−s ds 4.3 Let a δe − 1/σ 1/100, a1 1/100σ; by simple calculations, we have a a1 /σ 2 < 1. So i of condition P 1 is satisfied. 14 Abstract and Applied Analysis Let R 100, for u ∈ P, uC ≥ R; we have ft, u ≥ 1/2 σ 2 R 1/100ut. For u ∈ P , 0 ≤ uC ≤ R, we have ft, u ≤ R2 et 1. Hence, let h0 t 10000et 1, y1 0; then for any u ∈ P , we have 1 2 1 σ R ut − h0 t 2 100 1 1 σut. I1 u ≥ 2 100 ft, u ≥ 4.4 Let b 1/2σ 2 R 1/100, and b1 1/100σ; by simple calculations, we have b σ 2 b1 > 1, so ii of condition P 1 is satisfied. By Theorem 3.1, Problem 4.1 has at least one positive solution. Acknowledgment This work was supported by NNSF of China no. 10871160, 11061031. References 1 V. Lakshmikantham, D. D. Baı̆nov, and P.
