Positive Solutions for a Class of Third-Order Three-Point Boundary Value Problem

We investigate the problem of existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear third-order three-point boundary value problem u‴(t)+λa(t)f(u(t))=0, 0<t<1, u(0)=u′(0)=0, u″(1)=∝u″(η), where λ is a positive parameter, ∝∈(0,1), η∈(0,1), f:(0,∞)→(0,∞), a:(0,1)→(0,∞) are continuous. Using a specia...

description We investigate the problem of existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear third-order three-point boundary value problem u‴(t)+λa(t)f(u(t))=0, 0<t<1, u(0)=u′(0)=0, u″(1)=∝u″(η), where λ is a positive parameter, ∝∈(0,1), η∈(0,1), f:(0,∞)→(0,∞), a:(0,1)→(0,∞) are continuous. Using a specially constructed cone, the fixed point index theorems and Leray-Schauder degree, this work shows the existence and multiplicities of positive solutions for the nonlinear third-order boundary value problem. Some examples are given to demonstrate the main results.
