Multiple solutions for second-order three-point boundary value problems with \(p\)-Laplacian operator (Q924016)

In this paper, we study the second-order three-point boundary value problem with a \(p\)-Laplacian operator \[ \begin{cases} (\phi_p(x'(t)))+g(x(t))=f(t,x(t),x'(t)),\\ x(0)=0,\;x(\xi)=\beta x(1),\end{cases} \] where \(\phi_p(s)=|s|^{p-2}s\), \(p>1\), \(\xi\in (0,1)\), \(\beta\in(0,1)\cup (1,\infty)\). We obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple solutions by applying generalized polar coordinates and the Leray-Schauder degree theorem.
