Title: Multiple positive solutions for singular boundary-value problems with derivative dependence on finite and infinite intervals Author: Baoqiang Yan (Shandong Normal Univ., China) Abstract: In this paper, Krasnoselskii's theorem and the fixed point theorem of cone expansion and compression are improved. Using the results obtained, we establish the existence of multiple positive solutions for the singular second-order boundary-value problems with derivative dependance on finite and infinite intervals.
