摘要
In this paper, we consider the existence of at least three positive solutions for the nonlinear nth-order in-point boundary value problem u((n))(t) + f(t, u) = 0, t is an element of (0, 1), u(0) = 0, u' (0)= ... =u((n-2)) (0) = 0, u(1) (m-2)Sigma(i=1) k(i)u(xi(i)), where u > 2, k(i) > 0 (i = 1, 2, ..., m-2), 0 < xi(1) < xi(2) < ... < xi(m-2) < 1. The associated Green's function for the nth-order in-point boundary value problem is first given, and growth conditions are imposed on the nonlinearity f which yield the existence of multiple positive solutions by using the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem.
