In this paper we study the existence of positive solutions of a second-order integral boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations. Our results presented here unify, generalize and substantially improve the existing results in the literature. Moreover, it is worthwhile to point out that our method will dispense with constructing a new Green function.
The paper deals with the existence of positive continuous solutions to systems of nonlinear Hammerstein integral equations. The main tool used in the proofs is fixed point index theory in a cone. The results obtained here are essentially different from existing ones in the literature. 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
