Abstract

In this paper we investigate the existence of triple positive solutions for the nonlinear third-order three-point boundary value problem u^@?(t)=a(t)f(t,u(t),u^'(t),u^''(t)),0[0,~),q:(0,1)-[0,~) are continuous. First, Green's function for the associated linear boundary value problem is constructed, and then, by using a fixed-point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, we establish results on the existence of triple positive solutions to the boundary value problem.
