Abstract:

In this paper, we establish the existence criteria for at least three positive solutions of an arbitrary two-point boundary value problem for nonlinear third order ordinary differential equation. The analysis of this paper is based on Leggett-William’s fixed point theorem and Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem. Some new existence and multiplicity results for nonlinear third order ordinary differential equation with arbitrary two-point boundary value conditions are obtained. The results of this paper extend and modify the corresponding results of several authors in literature. Some illustrative examples are given to support the analytic proof.
