Positive solutions of a third-order three-point boundary-value problem

Bo Yang

Abstract:
We obtain upper and lower estimates for positive solutions of a third-order three-point boundary-value problem. Sufficient conditions for the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for the problem are also obtained. Then to illustrate our results, we include an example.
