Agarwal agarwal@ Received 21 April 2008 Accepted 17 August 2008 Recommended by Paul Eloe This paper is devoted to using perturbation and variational techniques to derive some sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple positive solutions in the sense of distributions to a singular second-order dynamic equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions which includes those problems related to the negative exponent Emden-Fowler equation.

Introduction The Emden-Fowler equation uAA t q f ua ơ f 0 t e 0 1 T arises in the study of gas dynamics and fluids mechanics and in the study of relativistic mechanics nuclear physics and chemically reacting system see . 1 and the references therein for the continuous model. The negative exponent Emden-Fowler equation a 0 has been used in modeling non-Newtonian fluids such as coal slurries 2 . The physical interest lies in the existence of positive solutions. We are interested in a broad class of singular problem that includes those related with and the more general equation wAA t q f ua ơ t g t uơ t t e 0 1 T. .
