We study the existence of positive solutions for second-order nonlinear differential equations with nonseparated boundary conditions. Our nonlinearity may be singular in its dependent variable. The proof of the main result relies on a nonlinear alternative principle of Leray-Schauder. Recent results in the literature are generalized and significantly improved. 1. Introduction In this paper, we establish the positive periodic solutions for the following singular differential equation: − pxy qxy f x, y, y , 0 ≤ x ≤ T, 1.1 and boundary conditions y0 yT , y1 0 y1 T , 1.2 where p, q ∈ CR/T Z, the nonlinearity f ∈ CR/T Z × 0, ∞ × R, R, and y1 x pxy x denotes the quasi-derivative of yx. We call boundary conditions 1.2 the periodic boundary conditions which are important representatives of nonseparated boundary 2 Journal of Applied Mathematics conditions. In particular, the nonlinearity may have a repulsive singularity at y 0, which means that lim f x, y, z ∞, y→0 uniformly in x, z ∈ R2 . 1.3 Also f may take on negative values. Electrostatic or gravitational forces are the most important examples of singular interactions. During the last few decades, the study of the existence of periodic solutions for singular differential equations have deserved the attention of many researchers 1–8. Some classical tools have been used to study singular differential equations in the literature, including the degree theory 7–9, the method of upper and lower solutions 5, 10, Schauder’s fixed point theorem 2, 11, 12, some fixed point theorems in cones for completely continuous operators 13–15, and a nonlinear Leray-Schauder alternative principle 16–18. However, the singular differential equation 1.1, in which the nonlinearity is dependent on the derivative and does not require f to be nonnegative, has not attracted much attention in the literature. There are not so many existence results for 1.1 even when the nonlinearity is independent of the derivative. In this paper, we try to fill this gap and establish the existence of positive T -periodic solutions of 1.1; proof of the existence of positive solutions is based on an application of a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder, which has been used by many authors 16–18. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, some preliminary results will be given, including a famous nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type. In Section 3, we will state and prove the main results. 2. Preliminaries Let us denote ut and vt by the solutions of the following homogeneous equations: − pxy qxy 0, 0 ≤ x ≤ T, 2.1 satisfying the initial conditions u0 1, u1 0 0, v0 0, v1 0 1, 2.2 and set D uT v1 T − 2. 2.3 Throughout this paper, we assume that 1.1 satisfies the following condition 2.4: T px > 0, qx > 0, 0 1 dx < ∞, px T 0 qxdx < ∞. 2.4 Journal of Applied Mathematics 3 Lemma 2.1 see 19. For the solution yx of the boundary value problem − pxy qxy hx, y0 yT , 0 ≤ x ≤ T, 2.5 1 y 0 y1 T , the formula yx T Gx, shsds, 2.6 x ∈ 0, T , 0 holds, where Gx, s u1 T vT uxus − vxvs D D ⎧ 1 uT − 1 v T − 1 ⎪ ⎪ uxvs − usvx, 0 ≤ s ≤ x ≤ T, ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ D D ⎪ ⎪ 1 ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ v T − 1 usvx − uT − 1 uxvs, 0 ≤ x ≤ s ≤ T, D D 2.7 is the Green’s function, and the number D is defined by 2.3. Lemma 2.2 see 19. Under condition 2.4, the Green’s function Gx, s of the boundary value problem 2.5 is positive, that is, Gx, s > 0, for x, s ∈ 0, T . One denotes B max Gx, s, A min Gx, s, 0≤s,x≤T σ 0≤s,x≤T A . B 2.8 Thus B > A > 0 and 0 < σ < 1. Remark 2.3. If px 1, qx m2 > 0, then the Green’s function Gx, s of the boundary value problem 2.5 has the form Gx, s ⎧ mx−s emT −xs e ⎪ ⎪ , ⎪ ⎪ mT ⎪ ⎨ 2m e − 1 ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ems−x emT x−s ⎪ ⎪ ⎩ , 2m emT − 1 0 ≤ s ≤ x ≤ T, 2.9 0 ≤ x ≤ s ≤ T. It is obvious that Gx, s > 0 for 0 ≤ s, x ≤ T , and a direct calculation shows that A emT/2 mT , m e −1 B 1 emT , 2m emT − 1 σ 2emT/2 < 1. 1 emT 2.10 4 Journal of Applied Mathematics Let X C0, T , and we suppose that F : 0, T × R × R → 0, ∞ is a continuous function. Define an operator: T y x T Gx, sF s, ys, zs ds 2.11 0 for y ∈ X and x ∈ 0, T . It is easy to prove that T is continuous and completely continuous. 3. Main Results In this section, we state and prove the new existence results for 1.1. In order to prove our main results, the following nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder is needed, which can be T found in 20. Let us define the function ωx 0 Gx, sds. The usual L1 -norm over 0, T is denoted by · 1 , and the supremum norm of C0, T is denoted by · . Lemma 3.1. Assume Ω is a relatively compact subset of a convex set E in a normed space X. Let T : Ω → E be a compact map with 0 ∈ Ω. Then one of the following two conclusions holds: i T has at least one fixed point in Ω; ii there exist u ∈ ∂Ω and 0 < λ < 1 such that u λT u. Now we present our main existence result of positive solution to problem 1.1. Theorem 3.2. Suppose that 1.1 satisfies 2.4. Furthermore, assume that there exists a constant r > 0 such that H1 there exists a constant M > 0 such that Fx, y, z fx, y, z M ≥ 0 for all x, y, z ∈ 0, T × 0, r × R; H2 there exist continuous, nonnegative functions gy, hy, and y such that F x, y, z ≤ g y h y |z|, ∀ x, y, z ∈ 0, T × 0, r × R, 3.1 where gy > 0 is nonincreasing, hy/gy is nondecreasing in 0, r and y is nondecreasing in 0, ∞; H3 there exist a nonincreasing positive continuous function g0 y on 0, ∞, and a constant R0 > 0 such that Fx, y, z ≥ g0 y for x, y, z ∈ 0, T × 0, R0 × ∞, where g0 y R satisfies limy → 0 g0 y ∞ and limy → 0 y 0 g0 udu ∞; H4 the following inequalities hold: σr > Mω, r > ω, gσr − Mω 1 hr/gr L1 r L2 T where L1 2q1 /min0≤x≤T px, L2 2M/min0≤x≤T px. Then 1.1 has at least one positive T -periodic solution y with 0 < y Mω ≤ r. 3.2 Journal of Applied Mathematics 5 Proof. Since H4 holds, let N0 {n0 , n0 1, . . .}, and we can choose n0 ∈ {1, 2, . . .} such that 1/n0 < σr − Mω and 1 hr L1 r L2 T < r. ωgσr − Mω 1 gr n0 3.3 To show 1.1 has a positive solution, we should only show that − pxy qxy F x, yx − Mωx, y x − Mω x 3.4 has a positive solution y satisfying 1.2. If it is right, then kx yx − Mωx is a solution of 1.1 since qx yx − Mωx − pxk qxk − px yx − Mωx F x, yx − Mωx, y x − Mω x − M f x, yx − Mωx, y x − Mω x f x, kx, k x , 3.5 where −pxω x qxωx 1 is used. Consider the family of equations: qx , − pxy qxy λFn x, yx − Mωx, y x − Mω x n 3.6 where λ ∈ 0, 1, n ∈ N0 , and Fn x, y, z ⎧ ⎪ ⎪ F x, y, z ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ if y ≥ ⎪ ⎪ 1 ⎪ ⎪ ⎩F x, , z n 1 if y ≤ . n 1 , n 3.7 Problem 3.6−1.2 is equivalent to the following fixed point of the operator equation: y Tn y, 3.8 where Tn is a continuous and completely continuous operator defined by Tn yx λ T 0 1 Gx, sFn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds , n 3.9 and we used the fact T 0 Gx, sqsds ≡ 1 see Lemma 2.1 with h q . 3.10 6 Journal of Applied Mathematics Now we show y / r for any fixed point y of 3.8. If not, assume that y is a fixed point of 3.8 such that y r. Note that 1 yx − λ n T Gx, sFn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds 0 ≥ λA T Fn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds 0 T Fn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds 0 T Gx, sFn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds ≥ σ max λ σBλ x∈0,T 1 . σ y − n 3.11 0 So we have 1 1 ≥ σ y − 1 1 ≥ σr, y − yx ≥ σ n n n n for 0 ≤ x ≤ T. 3.12 In order to pass the solutions of the truncation equation 3.6 with λ 1 to that of the original equation 3.4, we need the fact that y is bounded. Now we show that y ≤ L1 r 3.13 for a solution yx of 3.6. Integrating 3.6 from 0 to T with λ 1, we obtain T 0 T qx dx. Fn x, yx − Mωx, y x − Mω x qxyxdx n 0 3.14 Since y0 yT , there exists x0 ∈ 0, T such that y x0 0; therefore, x pxy x psy s ds x0 x qs qsys − Fn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s − ds x0 n T qs ≤ ds qsys Fn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s n 0 T 2 qsysds 0 ≤ 2r T qsds. 0 3.15 Journal of Applied Mathematics 7 So, 2r y x ≤ T 0 qsds px 2r q1 ≤ : L1 r. min0≤x≤T px 3.16 Similarly we have ω x ≤ 2T min0≤x≤T px . 3.17 By 3.12, we obtain yx − Mωx ≥ σr − Mωx ≥ σr − Mω > 1/n0 ≥ 1/n. Thus from condition H2 T 1 yx λ Gx, sFn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds n 0 T 1 Gx, sF s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds λ n 0 T 1 Gx, sF s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds ≤ n 0 T h ys − Mωs 1 ≤ Gx, sg ys − Mωs 1 y s Mω s ds n g ys − Mωs 0 T hr 1 ≤ gσr − Mω 1 L1 r L2 T Gt, s ds gr n 0 hr 1 L1 r L2 T ω . ≤ gσr − Mω 1 gr n0 3.18 Therefore, hr 1 r y ≤ gσr − Mω 1 L1 r L2 T ω . gr n0 3.19 This is a contradiction, so y / r. Using Lemma 3.1, we know that y Tn y 3.20 has a fixed point, denoted by yn , that is, equation qx − pxy qxy Fn x, yx − Mωx, y x − Mω x n 3.21 has a periodic solution yn with yn < r. Using similar procedure to that of the proof of 3.13, we can prove that yn ≤ L1 r. 3.22 8 Journal of Applied Mathematics In the next lemma, we will show that yn x − Mωx have a uniform positive lower bound, that is, there exists a constant δ > 0, independent of n ∈ N0 , such that yn x − Mωx ≥ δ 3.23 for all n ∈ N0 . The fact yn < r and yn ≤ L1 r shows that {yn }n∈N0 is a bounded and equicontinuous family on 0, T . Thus the Arzela–Ascoli Theorem guarantees that {yn }n∈N0 has a subsequence, {yni }i∈N converging uniformly on 0, T to a function y ∈ X. F is uniformly continuous since yn satisfies δ Mωx ≤ yn x ≤ r for all x ∈ 0, T . Moreover, yni satisfies the integral equation yni x T 0 1 Gx, sFn s, yni s − Mωs, yn i s − Mω s ds . ni 3.24 Letting i → ∞, we arrive at yx T Gx, sFn s, ys − Mωs, y s − Mω s ds. 3.25 0 Therefore, y is a positive periodic solution of 1.1 and satisfies 0 < y Mω ≤ r. Lemma 3.3. There exists a constant δ > 0 such that any solution yn of 3.6 (with λ 1) satisfies 3.23 for all n large enough. Proof. By condition H3 , there exist R1 ∈ 0, R0 and a continuous function g0 such that F x, y, y − qxy ≥ g0 y ≥ max M, r q 3.26 for all x, y ∈ 0, T × 0, R1 , where g0 satisfies condition also like in H3 . Choose n1 ∈ N0 such that 1/n1 ≤ R1 , and let N1 {n1 , n1 1, . . .}. For n ∈ N1 , let αn min yn x − Mωx , 0≤x≤T βn max yn x − Mωx . 0≤x≤T 3.27 We first show that βn > R1 for all n ∈ N1 . If not, assume that βn ≤ R1 for some n ∈ N1 . If 1/n ≤ yn x − Mωx ≤ R1 , we obtain from 3.26 Fn x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x F x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x ≥ qx yn x − Mωx g0 yn x − Mωx ≥ g0 yn x − Mωx > r q, 3.28 and, if yn x − Mωx ≤ 1/n, we obtain Fn x, yn x − Mωx, yn x qx 1 1 1 g0 ≥ g0 > r q. 3.29 F x, , yn x ≥ n n n n Journal of Applied Mathematics 9 So we have Fn x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x > r q, for βn ≤ R1 . 3.30 Integrating 3.6 with λ 1 from 0 to T , we deduce that T qx dx − px yn x qxyn x − Fn x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x − n 0 T T 1 T qx yn x dx − qxdx − Fn x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x dx n 0 0 0 T < qxyn xdx − r qT ≤ 0. 0 0 3.31 This is a contradiction. Thus βn > R1 , and we have yn − Mω > R1 , ∀n ∈ N1 . 3.32 To prove 3.23, we first show yn x ≥ Mωx 1 , n 0 ≤ x ≤ T for n ∈ N1 . 3.33 Let N1 P ∪ Q; here αn ≥ R1 if n ∈ P , and αn < R1 if n ∈ Q. If n ∈ P , it is easy to verify 3.33 is satisfied. We now show 3.33 holds if n ∈ Q. If not, suppose there exists n ∈ Q with 1 αn min yn x − Mωx yn cn − Mωcn < 0≤x≤T n 3.34 for some cn ∈ 0, T . As αn yn cn − Mωcn < R1 , by βn > R1 , there exists cn ∈ 0, T without loss of generality, we assume an < cn such that yn an Mωan R1 and yn x ≤ Mωx R1 for an ≤ x ≤ cn . From 3.26, we easily show that Fn x, yx − Mωx, y x − Mω x > qx yn x − Mωx M for x ∈ an , cn . 3.35 10 Journal of Applied Mathematics Using 3.6 with λ 1 for yn x, we have, for x ∈ an , cn , −px yn x − Mω x − px yn x M px ω x −qxyn x Fn x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x qx − M 1 − qxωx n > −qxyn x qx yn x − Mωx M qx − M 1 − qxωx n qx ≥ 0. n 3.36 As yn cn − Mω cn 0, px > 0, so yn x − Mω x < 0 for all x ∈ an , cn , and the function νn : yn − Mω is strictly decreasing on an , cn . We use ηn to denote the inverse function of yn restricted to an , cn . Thus there exists bn ∈ an , cn such that yn bn −Mωbn 1/n and yn x − Mωx ≤ 1 n for cn ≥ x ≥ bn , 1 ≤ yn x − Mωx ≤ R1 n for bn ≥ x ≥ an . 3.37 By using the method of substitution, we obtain R1 F ηn ν, ν, ν dν 1/n an b ann b F x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x yn x − Mω x dx Fn x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x yn x − Mω x dx ann qx yn x − Mω x dx − px yn x qxyn x − n b ann − px yn x yn x − Mω x dx bn an qx yn x − Mω x dx. qxyn x − n bn 3.38 By the facts yn < r, yn and ω are bounded, one can easily obtain that the second term is bounded. The first term is 2 2 pbn yn bn − pan yn an Mpan yn an ω an − Mpbn yn bn ω bn an an pxyn xyn xdx − M pxyn xω xdx, bn bn 3.39 Journal of Applied Mathematics 11 which is also bounded. As a consequence, there exists L > 0 such that R1 F ηn y , y, y dy ≤ L. 3.40 1/n On the other hand, by H3 , we can choose n2 ∈ N1 large enough such that R1 F ηn y , y, y dy ≥ R1 1/n g0 y dy > L 3.41 1/n for all n ∈ N2 {n2 , n2 1, . . .}. This is a contradiction. So 3.33 holds. Finally, we will show that 3.23 is right in n ∈ Q. Noticing estimate 3.33 and employing the method of substitution, we obtain R1 F ηn y , y, y dy αn an c ann c F x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x yn x − Mω x dx Fn x, yn x − Mωx, yn x − Mω x yn x − Mω x dx ann cn qx yn x − Mω x dx. − pxyn x qxyn x − n 3.42 Obviously, the right-hand side of the above equality is bounded. On the other hand, by H3 , R1 F ηn y , y, y dy ≥ αn R1 g0 y dy −→ ∞ 3.43 αn if αn → 0 . Thus we know that αn ≥ δ for some constant δ > 0; the proof is completed. Corollary 3.4. Let the nonlinearity in 1.1 be f x, y, z 1 |z|γ y−α μyβ ex , 0 ≤ x ≤ T, 3.44 where α > 0, β, γ ≥ 0, ex ∈ C0, T , and μ > 0 is a positive parameter, i if β γ < 1, then 1.1 has at least one positive periodic solution for each μ > 0; ii if β γ ≥ 1, then 1.1 has at least one positive periodic solution for each 0 < μ < μ∗ , where μ∗ is some positive constant. Proof. We will apply Theorem 3.2. Take M e0 max |ex|, 0≤x≤T g y y−α , h y μyβ 2e0 , z 1 |z|γ . 3.45 12 Journal of Applied Mathematics Then conditions H1 –H3 are satisfied and the existence condition H4 becomes rσr − Mωα − ω 1 L1 r L2 T γ − 2e0 ωr α 1 L1 r L2 T γ μ< r αβ ω 1 L1 r L2 T γ 3.46 for some r > 0. So 1.1 has at least one positive periodic solution for rσr − Mωα − ω 1 L1 r L2 T γ − 2e0 ωr α 1 L1 r L2 T γ 0 < μ < μ : sup . r αβ ω 1 L1 r L2 T γ r>0 3.47 ∗ Note that μ∗ ∞ if β γ < 1 and μ∗ < ∞ if β γ ≥ 1.
