Existence of at least three solutions of a second-order three-point boundary value problem Original Research Article

We study existence of at least three solutions in the presence of two lower and two upper solutions of some second-order nonlinear three-point boundary value problem of the type View the MathML source-x″=f(t,x,x′),t∈I=[0,1], Turn MathJax on View the MathML sourcex(0)=0,x(1)=δx(η),0<δη<1,0<η<1.
