Existence results for nonlinear boundary value problems with $m$-point integral boundary condition

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear $m$-point boundary value problems with integral boundary condition. By using  fixed-point index theorem and Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem, the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions are obtained. As an application, two examples are given to demonstrate our results.

Keywords

• Boundary value problems,fixed point theorems,integral boundary conditions
