Abstract
This paper studies positive solutions and eigenvalue intervals of a nonlinear third-order two-point boundary value problem. The nonlinear term is allowed to be singular with respect to both the time and space variables. By constructing a proper cone and applying the Guo–Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem, the eigenvalue intervals for which there exist one, two, three or infinitely many positive solutions are obtained.
