Eigenvalues for iterative systems of nonlinear \(m\)-point boundary value problems on time scales (Q472274)

The authors determine the eigenvalue intervals of the parameters for which there exist positive solutions of the iterative systems of \(m\)-point boundary value problems on time scales \[ \begin{aligned} u_i^{\Delta\Delta}(t)+\lambda_i q_i(t)f(u_{i+1}(t))&=0, \;t\in [0,1]_\mathbb{T}, 1\leq i\leq n, u_{n+1}(t)=u_1(t), \;t\in [0,1]_\mathbb{T},\\ a u_i(0)-bu_i^{\Delta}(0)&=\sum^{m-2}_{j=1}\alpha_j u_i(\xi_j), c u_i(1)-d u_i^{\Delta}(1)=\sum^{m-2}_{j=1}\beta_j u_i(\xi_j), 1\leq i\leq n,\end{aligned} \] where \(\mathbb{T}\) is a time scale. The main tool is the Guo-Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem. They also give an example to demonstrate their main results.
