Two-point boundary value problems (BVP) are of great importance in many engineering applications. The proof of existence of solutions for two- point BVP of second order differential equations by the use of monotone iterative techniques has been widely studied in literature. However, similar results for two-point BVP of third order and higher order differential equations are rarely available due to the difficulties in finding the differential inequalities needed in the use of the monotone iterative techniques. This paper employs an ingenious transformation which converts the solution of the two-point BVP of a third order differential equation into that of the initial value problem of a second order differential equation. Thus, the existence of a solution of the two-point BVP of a third order differential equation is obtained in a much simpler manner.
