Positive solutions for three-point boundary value problem on the half-line. (English) Zbl 1131.34019
Summary: We consider the existence of positive solutions for the following boundary value problem on the half-line
$\begin{cases} (\rho(t)x'(t))'+f(t,x(t),x'(t))=0,\quad & t\in [0,+\infty),\\ x(0)=\alpha x(\xi),\quad \lim_{t\to\infty}x(t)=0.\end{cases}$ By applying fixed-point theorems, we obtain a variety of existence results. In particular, the nonlinear term is involved with the first-order derivative.
