Title: Existence of positive solutions for singular eigenvalue problems Authors: Meiqiang Feng (Beijing Institute of Technology, China) Weigao Ge (Beijing Institute of Technology, China) Abstract: In this paper, we discuss the existence, nonexistence, and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of singular eigenvalue problems. Some of our theorems are new, while others extend earlier results obtained by Zhang and Kong [12]. The interesting point is that the authors obtain the relation between the existence of solutions and the parameter $\lambda$. The arguments are based on the fixed point index theory and the upper and lower solutions method. Submitted May 10, 2006. Published September 8, 2006. Math Subject Classifications: 34B15.
