A uniqueness theorem for positive solutions is proved for a two point boundary value problem governed by a class of nonlinear second order differential equations with quadratic growth in the derivative. An application to the Dirichlet boundary value problem for a nonlinear elliptic equation on a two dimensional annulus is presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
