Abstract
The aim of this paper is to establish existence and uniqueness of a positive continuous solution to the following singular nonlinear problem. {-t1-n mml:mfenced separators="|"tn-1u=a(t)u sigma,t(0,1),limt0?tn-1u(t)=0,u(1)=0}, where n3,sigma 1, and a denotes a nonnegative continuous function that might have the property of being singular at t=0 and /or t=1 and which satisfies certain condition associated to Karamata class. We emphasize that the nonlinearity might also be singular at u=0, while the solution could blow-up at 0. Our method is based on the global estimates of potential functions and the Schauder fixed point theorem.
