Existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for a class of nth-order three-point boundary value problems in Banach spaces

摘要

By using the fixed-point principle in cone and the fixed-point index theory for strict-set-contraction operator, this paper investigates the existence, nonexistence, and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of nonlinear three-point boundary value problems of nth-order differential equations in ordered Banach spaces. In addition, an example is included to demonstrate the main results.
