Positive solutions to a generalized second-order three-point boundary-value problem on time scales

Hua Luo, Qiaozhen Ma

Abstract:
Let $\mathbb{T}$ be a time scale with $0,T \in \mathbb{T}$. We investigate the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to the nonlinear second-order three-point boundary-value problem
$$\displaylines{ u^{\Delta\nabla}(t)+a(t)f(u(t))=0,\quad t\in[0, T]\subset \mathbb{T},\cr u(0)=\beta u(\eta),\quad u(T)=\alpha u(\eta) }$$
on time scales $\mathbb{T}$, where 0, 0less than $\alpha$ less than $\frac{T}{\eta}$, 0 less than $\beta$ less than $\frac{T-\alpha\eta}{T-\eta}$ are given constants.
