Abstract: This paper dealt with the existence of positive solutions
for the nonlinear eigenvalue problem and the superlinear
semipositone problem of an $n$th-order delay differential equation.
The main results in this paper generalize some of the existing
results in the literature. The proofs are based on the well-known
Guo-Krasnoselskii fixed-point theorem.
