%0 Journal Article %T Positive solutions for the $Phi$-Laplacian when $Phi$ is a sup - multiplicative - like function %A George L. Karakostas %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2004 %I Texas State University %X We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions of a boundary-value problem for a one dimensional $Phi$-Laplacian ordinary differential equation with deviating arguments, where $Phi$ is a sup-multiplicative-like function (in a sense introduced here) and the boundary conditions include nonlinear expressions at the end points. For this end, we use the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem in a cone. The results obtained improve and generalize known results in [17] and elsewhere. %K Boundary value problems %K positive solutions %K Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem. %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2004/68/abstr.html
