Existence results of positive solutions, by means of a new approaches, for the 3 the order three-point BVP x(t)=α(t)f(t,x(t),x(t),x(t)), x(0)=x(η)=x(1)=0, are given. Here 0<η<1 is a fixed point in contrast to the usual case 1/2<η<1. In addition, without any monotonicity assumption on the nonlinearity, we prove the existence of a sequence of such solutions with lim n→∞∥x n ∥=0. Our principal tools
... [Show full abstract] are very simple applications on the plane of both the well-known Sperner’s Lemma in comparison with the classical Krasnosel’ski’s fixed point theorem. So we avoid to use any Green’s function, the necessary positivity of which yields the restriction η∈(1/2,1).
