An existence result for a multipoint boundary value problem on a time scale
Advances in Difference Equations volume 2006, Article number: 063208 (2006)
Abstract
We will expand the scope of application of a fixed point theorem due to Krasnosel'skiĭ and Zabreiko to the family of second-order dynamic equations described by uΔΔ(t) = f(uσ(t)), , with multipoint boundary conditions u(0) = 0, , and for the purpose of establishing existence results. We will determine sufficient conditions on our function f such that the assumptions of the fixed point theorem are satisfied, which in return gives us the existence of solutions.
