Özet

A four-functional fixed point theorem and a generalization of Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem are used, respectively, to investigate the existence of at least one positive solution and at least three positive solutions for third-order m -point boundary value problem on time scales with an increasing homeomorphism and homomorphism, which generalizes the usual p -Laplacian operator. In particular, the nonlinear term f (t, u) is allowed to change sign. As an application, we also give some examples to demonstrate our results. Copyright © 2012 Fatma Tokmak and Ilkay Yaslan Karaca.
