Solvability of a Higher-Order Three-Point Boundary Value Problem on Time Scales

Abstract

We consider a higher-order three-point boundary value problem on time scales.A new existence result is first obtained by using a fixed point theorem due to Krasnoselskii andZabreiko. Later, under certain growth conditions imposed on the nonlinearity, several sufficientconditions for the existence of a nonnegative and nontrivial solution are obtained by usingLeray-Schauder nonlinear alternative. Our conditions imposed on nonlinearity are all very easyto verify; as an application, some examples to demonstrate our results are given.
