Positive solutions for third-order boundary-value problems with the integral boundary conditions and dependence on the first-order derivatives (Q364492)

Summary: By using a fixed point theorem in a cone and the nonlocal third-order BVP's Green function, the existence of at least one positive solution for the third-order boundary-value problem with the integral boundary conditions \(x'''(t) + f(t, x(t), x'(t)) = 0\), \(t \in J\), \(x(0) = 0\), \(x''(0) = 0\), and \(x(1) = \int^1_0 g(t)x(t)dt\) is considered, where \(f\) is a nonnegative continuous function, \(J = [0, 1]\), and \(g \in L[0, 1]\) The emphasis here is that \(f\) depends on the first-order derivatives.
