摘要
In this paper, we study the nonlinear four-point boundary value problem with the p-Laplacian (phi(p)(u'))'+f(t,u(t))=0, 0 < t < 1, u(0)-alpha u'(xi) = 0, u(1) + beta u' (eta) = 0, where phi(p)(S) = |S|(p-2)s, P > 1, alpha, beta > 0, 0 < xi < eta < 1. By applying a fixed point theorem in cones, sufficient conditions are given for the existence of a positive solution and multiple positive solutions. The interesting point is the Sturm-Liouville-like boundary condition, which was rarely treated until now. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
