Abstract

By using the fixed point index theory, we investigate the existence of at least two positive solutions for $p$-Laplace equation with sign-changing nonlinear terms $ (\varphi_{p}(u'))'+a(t)f(t,u(t),u'(t))=0, $ subject to some boundary conditions. As an application, we also give an example to illustrate our results.

Keywords: $p$-Laplace equation, positive solution, boundary value problem, fixed point index theory
