Abstract

In this paper, the compression contraction fixed point theorem is applied to a right focal boundary value problem for a second order ordinary differential equation to provide sufficient conditions for existence of solutions in a cone. The nonlinear term is a function of three variables and singularities are allowed. A cone is defined in the Banach space C1[0, 1] and concavity of derivatives of solutions plays a key role. A family of examples is provided in which explicit sufficient conditions are exhibited.
