Abstract
We consider the existence of positive solutions to the BVP (p(t)u')' lambda f(t, u) = 0, r < t < R, au(r) - bp(r)u'(r) = 0, cu(R) + dp(R)u '(R) = 0, where lambda > 0. Our results extend some of the existing li terature on superlinear semipositone problems and singular BVPs. Our p roofs are quite simple and are based on fixed point theorems in a cone .
