Positive solutions of boundary value problems for \(2m\)-order differential equations
Electronic journal of differential equations, Tome 2003 (2003)
This article concerns the existence of positive solutions to the differential equation

$ (-1)^m x^{(2m)}(t)=f(t,x(t),x'(t),\dots,x^{(m)}(t)), \quad 0 less than t less than \pi, $

subject to boundary condition

$ x^{(2i)}(0)=x^{(2i)}(\pi)=0, $

or to the boundary condition

$ x^{(2i)}(0)=x^{(2i+1)}(\pi)=0, $

for $i=0,1,\dots,m-1$. Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one positive solution of each boundary-value problem are established. Motivated by references [7,17,21], the emphasis in this paper is that $f$ depends on all higher-order derivatives.
