RT Journal Article T1 Third-order differential equations with three-point boundary conditions A1 Cabada Fernández, Alberto A1 Dimitrov, Nikolay K1 Third-order equations K1 Three-point boundary conditions K1 Green’s function K1 Degree theory AB In this paper, a third-order ordinary differential equation coupled to three-point boundary conditions is considered. The related Green’s function changes its sign on the square of definition. Despite this, we are able to deduce the existence of positive and increasing functions on the whole interval of definition, which are convex in a given subinterval. The nonlinear considered problem consists on the product of a positive real parameter, a nonnegative function that depends on the spatial variable and a time dependent function, with negative sign on the first part of the interval and positive on the second one. The results hold by means of fixed point theorems on suitable cones.
