Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to establish some results on the existence and
nonexistence of positive solutions for a type of nonlinear n-th order three-point boundary
value problems. The main tool is a fixed point theorem of the cone expansion and
compression of functional type due to Avery, Anderson, and O’Regan. Some examples
are presented to illustrate the availability of the main results.
Keywords :
