Review text

In this paper, the class of half-linear boundary value problems \[ \begin{cases} \left(\Phi_{p}(u^{'})\right)^{'}(t)+h(t)f(t,u(t),u^{'}(t))=0,\quad t\in(0,1),\\ u(0)-\alpha u^{'}(0)=\int_{0}^{1}g_{1}(s)u(s)ds,\\ u(1)+\beta u^{'}(1)=\int_{0}^{1}g_{2}(s)u(s)ds\end{cases}\tag{1} \] is studied, where \(f\), \(h\), \(g_{1}\) and \(g_{2}\) are some appropriate non-negative functions. \(\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}_{+}\) and \(\Phi_{p}(u):=|u|^{p-2}u\) stands for the one-dimensional \(p\)-Laplacian. The main purpose of this paper deals with the multiplicity of positive solutions for the boundary value problem (1). For this aim, the authors have chosen fixed point theory on cones. Particularly, they apply the well known Avery-Peterson fixed point theorem to verify the existence of at least three positive solutions included in a precisely defined positive cone. Indeed, this fixed point theorem imposing some relations between some convex and concave functionals and a completely continuous operator \(T\) in a given cone \(P\) , gives us at least three fixed points of the operator \(T\).
