“…In addition, solutions u of (P ), (BC i ) (i = 1, 2, 3, 4) may not be in C 1 (R + ) since w may have zeros in R + . In order to overcome these difficulties, a new Banach space equipped with a weighted norm is introduced, and then we can proceed with the Leray-Schauder continuation principle which was used in many works (see, e.g., [5,7,9,10,11,17]) in order to prove the existence of a solution for the problems (P ), (BC i ) (i = 1, 2, 3, 4).…”
