Abstract
We investigate the singular periodic boundary-value problem with ϕ-Laplacian,
(ϕ(u′))′ = ƒ(t, u, u′),
u(0) = u(T), u′(0) = u′(T),
where ϕ is an increasing homeomorphism, ϕ(ℝ) = ℝ, ϕ(0) = 0. We assume that ƒ satisfies the Carathéodory conditions on each set [α, b] ⊂ (0, T) and ƒ does not satisfy the Carathéodory conditions on [0, T] x ℝ2, which means that ƒ has time singularities at t = 0, t = T.
We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to the above problem belonging to C1 [0, T]. We also find conditions which guarantee the existence of a sign-changing solution to the problem.
