Positive solutions of nonlinear \(m\)-point boundary value problems on time scales (Q2389541)

The authors study the following \(m\)--point boundary value problem \[ u^{\Delta\nabla} + f(t,u) = 0, \quad \beta u(0) - \gamma u^\Delta(0) = 0, \quad u(1) = \sum_{i=1}^{m-2} \alpha_i u(\epsilon_i), \] where \(t,\epsilon_{i=1\dots m-2} \in [0,1] \cap \mathbb{T}\) (time scale). By applying Krasnoselskii and Legget--Williams type fixed point theorems in cones they show the existence of two resp.\ three positive solutions under various appropriate conditions. The results are illustrated by two examples.
