Abstract: We will investigate the number of positive solutions for nonlinear boundary value problems (BVPs) with respect to a positive parameter. The nonlinearities we consider are smooth nondecreasing functions that are eventually positive. By utilizing the so-called quadrature method, we discuss existence, nonexistence, uniqueness, and multiplicity of positive solutions depending on the behavior of the nonlinearity near the origin, its concave or convex property, and asymptotic behavior at infinity.
