Positive solutions for third-order \(p\)-Laplacian functional dynamic equations on time scales (Q5915934)

Summary: We study the following third-order \(p\)-Laplacian functional dynamic equation on time scales: \(\left[\Phi_p(u^{\Delta \nabla}(t))\right]^\nabla + a(t) f(u(t), u(\mu(t))) = 0\), \(t \in \left(0, T\right)_{\mathbf{T}}\), \(u(t) = \varphi(t)\), \(t \in \left[- r, 0\right]_{\mathbf{T}}\), \(u^\Delta(0) = u^{\Delta \nabla}(T) = 0\), and \(u(T) + B_0(u^\Delta(\eta)) = 0\). By applying the Five-Functional Fixed Point Theorem, the existence criteria of three positive solutions are established.
