We study singular boundary value problems with mixed boundary conditions of the form (p(t)u ' ) ' + p(t)f(t, u, p(t)u ' ) = 0, lim t→0+ p(t)u ' (t) = 0, u(T) = 0, where [0, T] ⊂ . We assume that D ⊂ R 2 , f satisfies the Carathéodory conditions on (0, T) × D, p ∈ C[0, T] and 1/p need not be integrable on [0, T]. Here f can have time singularities at t = 0 and/or t = T and a space singularity at x = 0. Moreover, f can change its sign. Provided f is nonnegative it can have even a space singularity at y = 0. We present conditions for the existence of solutions positive on [0, T).
