Summary:
The problem on the existence of a positive in the interval $\mathopen ]a,b\mathclose [$ solution of the boundary value problem \[ u^{\prime \prime }=f(t,u)+g(t,u)u^{\prime };\quad u(a+)=0, \quad u(b-)=0 \] is considered, where the functions $f$ and $g\:\mathopen ]a,b\mathclose [\times \mathopen ]0,+\infty \mathclose [ \rightarrow \mathbb R$ satisfy the local Carathéodory conditions. The possibility for the functions $f$ and $g$ to have singularities in the first argument (for $t=a$ and $t=b$) and in the phase variable (for $u=0$) is not excluded. Sufficient and, in some cases, necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of that problem are established.
