%0 Journal Article %T A radially symmetric anti-maximum principle and applications to fishery management models %A Junping Shi %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2004 %I Texas State University %X For a boundary-value problem of an ordinary differential equation, we prove that the anti-maximum principle holds when the forcing term satisfies an integral inequality. As applications, we consider linear and nonlinear models arising from fishery management problems. %K Anti-maximum principle %K Sturm-Liouville comparison lemma %K nonlinear boundary value problem. %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2004/27/abstr.html
