This paper studies the eigenvalue interval for the singular boundary value problem u″ = g (t, u) + λ h (t, u), t ∈(0, 1),u (0) = 0 = u (1), where g + h may be singular at u = 0, t = 0, 1, and may change sign and be superlinear at u = + ∞. The approach is based on an approximation method together with the theory of upper and lower solutions. Copyright © 2009 Haishen Lü et al.
