Abstract

This paper deals with a non-linear second order ordinary dierential equation with symmetric non-linear boundary conditions, where both of the nonlinearities are of power type. It provides results concerning the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions, both symmetric and non-symmetric, for values of parameters not considered before. The main tool is the shooting method.
