Review text

This paper is concerned with nonlinear scalar three-point boundary value problems for dynamic equation on time scales. More precisely, it deals with the problem \[ u^{\Delta\nabla}(t)+h(t)f(t,u(t))=0 \] subject to the boundary condition \(u^\Delta(t_1)=0\), \(\alpha u(t_3)+\beta u^\Delta(t_3)=u^\Delta(t_2)\) with \(t_1<t_2<t_3\) and \(\alpha>0\), \(\beta>1\). Moreover, \(h\) is supposed to be 1d-continuous and \(f\) is continuous with nonnegative values. Using three fixed point theorems in cones, which are due to Krasnoselskii, Avery-Henderson and Legget-Williams, the author derives criteria for the existence of at least one, two and three solutions, respectively. Two examples illustrate the results.
