| Summary: | We study the Dirichlet boundary value problem u″t+λfut=0,−1<t<1,u−1=u1=0, generally and develop a schema for determining the relationship between the values of its parameters and the number of positive solutions. Then, we focus our attention on the special cases when fu=σ−uexp−K/1+u and fu=∏i=1mai—u, respectively. We prove first that all positive solutions of the first problem are less than or equal to σ, obtain more specific lower and upper bounds for these solutions, and compute a curve in the σK -plane with accuracy up to 10−6, below which the first problem has a unique positive solution and above which it has exactly three positive solutions. For the second problem, we determine its number of positive solutions and find a formula for the value of λ that separates the regions of λ, in which the problem has different numbers of solutions. We also computed the graphs for some special cases of the second problem, and the results are consistent with the existing results. Our code in Mathematica is available upon request. |
