Existence of positive solutions for a class of $$m$$-point boundary value problems. (English) Zbl 1149.34018
Summary: This paper investigates the existence of positive solutions for a class of second-order singular $$m$$-point Sturm-Liouville-type boundary value problems by using a fixed point theorem in cones. The results significantly extend and improve many known results even for nonsingular cases.
