AbstractIn this paper, we consider the bifurcation curves and exact multiplicity of positive solutions of the one-dimensional Minkowski-curvature equation $$ \textstyle\begin{cases} - (\frac{u'}{\sqrt{1-u^{\prime \,2}}} )'=\lambda f(u), &x\in (-L,L), \\ u(-L)=0=u(L), \end{cases} $$ { − ( u ′ 1 − u ′ 2 ) ′ = λ f ( u ) , x ∈ ( − L , L ) , u ( − L ) = 0 = u ( L ) , where λ and L are positive parameters, $f\in C[0,\infty ) \cap C^{2}(0,\infty )$ f ∈ C [ 0 , ∞ ) ∩ C 2 ( 0 , ∞ ) , and $f(u)>0$ f ( u ) > 0 for $0< u< L$ 0 < u < L . We give the precise description of the structure of the bifurcation curves and obtain the exact number of positive solutions of the above problem when f satisfies $f''(u)>0$ f ″ ( u ) > 0 and $uf'(u)\geq f(u)+\frac{1}{2}u^{2}f''(u)$ u f ′ ( u ) ≥ f ( u ) + 1 2 u 2 f ″ ( u ) for $0< u< L$ 0 < u < L . In two different cases, we obtain that the above problem has zero, exactly one, or exactly two positive solutions according to different ranges of λ. The arguments are based upon a detailed analysis of the time map.

We discuss existence, non-existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the one-dimensional prescribed curvature equation [Formula: see text] in connection with the changes of concavity of the function f. The proofs are based on an upper and lower solution method, we specifically develop for this problem, combined with a careful analysis of the time-map associated with some related autonomous equations.

We describe the existence of positive solutions for a class of singular generalized one-dimensionalp-Laplacian problem. By applying the related fixed point theory in cone, some new and general results on the existence of positive solutions to the singular generalizedp-Laplacian problem are obtained. Note that the nonlinear termfinvolves the first-order derivative explicitly.

Employing the Kolodner–Coffman method, we show the exact multiplicity of positive solutions for the one-dimensional p-Laplacian that is subject to a Dirichlet boundary condition with a positive convex nonlinearity and an indefinite weight function.
