Three positive solutions of nonhomogeneous multi-point BVPs for second order \(p\)-Laplacian functional difference equations (Q1032564)

There is a large number of papers on the existence of multiple positive solutions of boundary value problems (BVPs) for difference equations. In this paper sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of at least three positive solutions of a multi-point boundary value problem of second order difference equations with one-dimensional \(p\)-Laplacian are given. The author wants to show that the approach to positive solutions of BVPs by using multi-fixed-point theorems can be extended to nonhomogeneous BVPs.
