Abstract: <p>In this thesis, we study modelling with non-linear ordinary differential equations, and the existence of positive solutions for Boundary Value Problems (BVPs). These problems have wide applications in many areas. The focus is on the extensions of previous work done on non-linear second-order differential equations with boundary conditions involving first-order derivative. The… more Full Text: POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS OF SECOND ORDER ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS A Thesis Submitted to the Committee of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Arts …
