A note on derivative dependent singular boundary value problems arising in physiology

Abstract

In this note we establish existence of solutions of singular boundary value problem $-(p(x)y^{\prime }(x))^{\prime}=q(x)f(x,y,py')$ for $0< x\leq b$ and $y'(0)=0$, $\alpha_{1}y(b)+\beta_{1}p(b)y^{\prime}(b)=\gamma_{1}$ with $p(0)=0$ and $q(x)$ is integrable. Regions of multiple solutions have also been determined.
