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.
