Existence of positive solutions of a nonlinear second-order boundary-value problem with integral boundary conditions

Juan Galvis, Edixon M. Rojas, Alexander V. Sinitsyn

Abstract:
In this article we prove the existence of at least one positive solution for a three-point integral boundary-value problem for a second-order nonlinear differential equation. The existence result is obtained by using Schauder's fixed point theorem. Therefore, we do not need local assumptions such as superlinearity or sublinearity of the involved nonlinear functions.

An addendum was posted on November 4, 2015. It adds a necessary condition to Theorem 3.2, which makes the results in this article a particular case of the resutls in refence [7]. See the last page of this article.
