Positive solutions of BVPs for third-order nonlinear difference systems (Q1767777)

The authors consider the discrete boundary value problem (BVP) of Dirichlet type for a nonlinear system \[ \Delta^3u_1(k) + f_1(u_1(k),u_2(k))= 0 \] \[ \Delta^3u_2(k) + f_2(u_1(k),u_2(k))= 0\;,\;0\leq k\leq T \] \[ u_1(0)=u_1(1)=u_1(T+3)=0=u_2(0)=u_2(1)=u_2(T+3) \] Sufficient conditions are given for the existence of one or two positive solutions using fixed point results of Leray-Schauder or Krasnosel'skii type.
