Communications on applied nonlinear analysis, v. 12, no. 3 (July 2005)http://hdl.handle.net/2104/5075Includes bibliographical references (p. 42-44).In this dissetation, we seek positive solutions for the n^th order ordinary differential equation, y^(n)=f(x,y), satisfying the right focal boundary conditions, y^(i)(0)=y^(n-2)(p)=y^(n-1)(1)=0, i=0,...,n-3, where p is a fixed value between 1/2 and 1, and where f(x,y) has certain singulrities at x=0, at y=0, and possibly at y=infinity.iv, 44 p. : ill.124700 bytes265084 bytesapplication/pdfapplication/pdfenBaylor University theses are protected by copyright.
