Existence of Three Positive Solutions for m-Point Discrete Boundary Value Problems with p-Laplacian

We consider the multi-point discrete boundary value problem with one-dimensional p-Laplacian operator Δ(ϕp(Δu(t−1))+q(t)f(t,u(t),Δu(t))=0, t∈{1,…,n−1} subject to the boundary conditions: u(0)=0, u(n)=∑i=1m−2aiu(ξi), where ϕp(s)=|s|p−2s,p>1,ξi∈{2,…,n−2} with 1<ξ1<⋯<ξm−2<n−1 and ai∈(0,1...

description We consider the multi-point discrete boundary value problem with one-dimensional p-Laplacian operator Δ(ϕp(Δu(t−1))+q(t)f(t,u(t),Δu(t))=0, t∈{1,…,n−1} subject to the boundary conditions: u(0)=0, u(n)=∑i=1m−2aiu(ξi), where ϕp(s)=|s|p−2s,p>1,ξi∈{2,…,n−2} with 1<ξ1<⋯<ξm−2<n−1 and ai∈(0,1),0<∑i=1m−2ai<1. Using a new fixed point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, we study the existence of at least three positive solutions to the above boundary value problem.
