Abstract:
In this work we study a third-order three-point boundary-value
problem (BVP). We derive sufficient conditions that guarantee
the positivity of the solution of the corresponding linear BVP
Then, based on the classical Guo-Krasnosel'skii's fixed point
theorem, we obtain positive solutions to the nonlinear BVP.
Additional hypotheses guarantee the uniqueness of the solution.
