Iteration for a third-order three-point BVP with sign-changing Green's function (Q1714664)

Summary: We are concerned with the following third-order three-point boundary value problem: \(u^{\prime\prime\prime}(t)=f(t,u(t)),t\in[0,1], u^\prime(0)=u(1)=0,u^{\prime\prime}(\eta)+\alpha u(0)=0\), where \(\alpha\in[0,2)\) and \(\eta\in[2/3,1)\). Although corresponding Green's function is sign-changing, we still obtain the existence of monotone positive solution under some suitable conditions on \(f\) by applying iterative method. An example is also included to illustrate the main results obtained.
