## Singular mixed boundary value problem.(English)Zbl 1103.34009

A singular nonlinear boundary value problem is studied in the form $u''+f(t,u, u')=0, \quad u'(0)=0,\quad u(T)=0.$ The nonnegative nonlinearity $$f$$ is defined on $$(0,T)\times(0,\infty)\times x(-\infty,0)$$ and can have singularities. Sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a positive solution. The considerations are based on the technique of lower and upper functions. An illustrative example is given.
