Abstract: We study singular boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions of the form
(p(t)u')'+ p(t)f(t,u,p(t)u')=0, \quad\lim_{t\to0+}p(t)u'(t)=0, \quad u(T)=0,
where $[0,T]\subset\R.$ We assume that $\D\subset\R^2,$ $f$ satisfies the Caratheodory conditions on $(0,T)\times\D,$ $p\in C[0,T]$ and ${1/p}$ need not be integrable on $[0,T].$ Here $f$ can have time singularities at $t=0$ and/or $t=T$ and a space singularity at $x=0$. Moreover, $f$ can change its sign. Provided $f$ is nonnegative it can have even a space singularity at $y=0.$ We present conditions for the existence of solutions positive on $[0,T).$
Keywords: singular mixed boundary value problem, positive solution, lower function, upper function, convergence of approximate regular problems
