We study the existence of positive solutions for equations of the formwhere 0 < ω < π, subject to various non-local boundary conditions defined in terms of the Riemann–Stieltjes integrals. We prove the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for these boundary value problems in both resonant and non-resonant cases. We discuss the resonant case by making a shift and considering an equivalent non-resonant problem.
