In this thesis, by using the Rabinowitz’s global bifurcation theorem, we study the existence of sign-changing and positive solutions of second-order differential equations with linear and nonlinear integral boundary conditions, respectively. We describe them in detail as follows.1. we study the existence and global structure of sign-changing solutions for second-order differential equations with linear integral boundary conditions where λ>0 is a parameter, A:[0,1]→R+ is nondecreasing and A(t) is not a constant on (0,1), and (?) dA(t)∈ [0,1);f∈C1 (R, R) satisfies sf(s)>0 for s≠ 0; the limits f0:=(?)f(s)/s=0,f∞:=(?) f(s)/s=0.The main results extend and improve the corresponding ones of Yulian An [Math. Anal.,2012] and Ruyun Ma [Nonlinear Anal,2009].2. By using Rabinowitz’s global bifurcation theorem, the Topological degree theory, we study the existence of positive solutions for second-order differential e-quations with nonlinear integral boundary conditions where λ> 0 is a parameter, A:[0,1]→R is nondecreasing and A(t) is not a constant on (0,1), K(s):=(?) k(t, s)dA(t)≥0 for s ∈[0,1], and Γ:= f01 tdA(t) ∈ [0,1);f∈ C[0,1);F∈c([0,1]×[0,∞),[0,∞)),G∈C([0,∞),[0,∞)), f(t, s) and g(s) are not necessarily linearizable near s=0 and infinity. The main results improve the corresponding ones of Ruyun Ma [Nonlinear Anal.,2009] and Webb [Nonlinear Differential Equations Appl.,2008]. |
