Solvability for a third-order three-point BVP on time scales

We are concerned with the existence of a nontrivial solution to a nonlinear third-order three-point boundary-value problem on general time scales. Using the corresponding Green function, without a non-negative or monotone-type assumption on the nonlinearity, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one nontrivial solution, using the Leray–Schauder nonlinear alternative theorem. This paper extends recent results in differential equations to difference equations, quantum equations, and general dynamic equations on time scales.
