Consider the boundary value problems \[ \begin{gathered} x''+ f(t,x,x')= 0,\\ x(0)= 0,\quad x(1)= \sum^{m-2}_{i=1} \alpha_i x(\xi_i),\quad\text{or}\\ x'(0)= 0,\quad x(1)= \sum^{m-2}_{i=1} \alpha_i x(\xi_i),\end{gathered} \] where \(0< \xi_1< \xi_2<\cdots< \xi_{m-2}< 1\), \(\alpha_i\geq 0\), \(0<\sum^{m-2}_{i=1} \alpha_i< 1\), \(f\) is continuous. Applying fixed point theorems, the authors establish results on the existence of multiple positive solutions.
