Functional compression-expansion fixed point theorem

Richard Avery, Johnny Henderson, Donal O'regan

Abstract:
This paper presents a generalization of the fixed point theorems of compression and expansion of functional type. As an application, the existence of a positive solution to a second order conjugate boundary value problem is considered. We conclude with an extension to multivalued maps.
