Positive solutions for \(p\)-Laplacian functional dynamic equations on time scales (Q876905)

The authors study the boundary value problems for the \(p\)-Laplacian functional dynamic equation on a time scale, \[ [\phi_p(x^{\Delta}(t))]^{\nabla}+a(t)f(x(t), x(\mu(t)))=0, t\in (0, T), \] \[ x_0(t)=\psi(t), t\in [-r, 0], x(0)-B_0(x^{\Delta}(\eta))=0, x^{\Delta}(T)=0. \] By using the twin fixed point theorem introduced by \textit{R. I. Avery} and \textit{J. Henderson} [Commun. Appl. Nonlinear Anal. 8, 27--36 (2001; Zbl 1014.47025)], some sufficient conditions are established for the existence of twin positive solutions.
