Without the assumption of the nonnegativity of f , we still obtain the existence of the positive solution. Keywords second-order boundary value problem; delay differential equation; positive solutions; fixed point index.

Introduction and lemmas Presently, many authors discussed the existence of the solutions for delay differential equa- tions and functional differential equations[1,2]. However, the nonlinearity of the functions in the relational references is nonnegative. In this paper, we obtain the existence of positive solutions for a class of delay differential equations with the assumption that the nonlinearity is bounded below and not always nonnegative, which generalizes the corresponding results in [1], [2]. In this paper, we consider the following second-order boundary value problem of delay dif- ferential equation ′ ′ (p (t)u (t)) + f (t, u(t − τ )) = 0, 0 t 1, (1) u(t) = 0, −τ ≤ t ≤ 0, u(1) =
