On the existence of positive solution for second-order multi-points boundary value problems

Here we are concerned with the existence of positive solution for autonomous and nonautonomous second-order systems with multi-points boundary conditions. For nonautonomous systems we use the Schauderʹs fixed point theorem in a suitable Banach space, while for autonomous ones using fixed point theorems is usually useless because of the existence of trivial solution and for this we employed a method based on the implicit function theorem and topological degree. In order to verify the obtained results, we have considered some definite systems to verify the results numerically.
