Positive solutions to superlinear semipositone periodic boundary value problems with repulsive weak singular forces. (English) Zbl 1105.34306

Summary: This paper is devoted to study the existence of positive solutions to the second-order semipositone periodic boundary value problem \[ x''+ a(t)x=f(t,x),\;x(0)=x(1),\quad x'(0)=x'(1). \] Here, \(f(t,x)\) may be singular at \(x=0\) and may be superlinear at \(x=+\infty\). Our analysis relies on a fixed-point theorem in cones.
