On Existence of Symmetric Positive Solutions for SSBVPs on Time Scales

Abstract

This paper considers symmetric positive solutions for the system of second-order boundary value problems (SSBVPs) on time scales using the Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem. We then demonstrate two examples. Finally, we discuss the need for further results.

Keywords

• Time scale
