Positive solutions of a nonlinear three-point boundary value problem (Q5917449): Difference between revisions

Here, by using Krasnoselskii's fixed-point theorem in a cone, the author studies the existence of single and multiple positive solutions to the following three-point boundary value problem \[ y''(t)+a(t)f(y(t))=0, \quad 0<t<1,\qquad y'(0)=0, \;y'(1)=\beta y(\eta), \] with \(0<\beta <1\), \(0<\eta <1,\) \(f\in C([0,\infty), [0,\infty)),\) \(a\in C([0,1], [0,\infty))\) and \(a(t_0)>0\) for some \(t_0\in [0,1].\) Some examples are also given to illustrate the results.
