By using Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, we study the existence of positive solutions to the three-point summation boundary value problemΔ2u(t-1)+a(t)f(u(t))=0,t∈{1,2,…,T},u(0)=β∑s=1ηu(s),u(T+1)=α∑s=1ηu(s), wherefis continuous,T≥3is a fixed positive integer,η∈{1,2,...,T-1},0<α<(2T+2)/η(η+1),0<β<(2T+2-αη(η+1))/η(2T-η+1),andΔu(t-1)=u(t)-u(t-1). We show the existence of at least one positive solution iffis either superlinear or sublinear.

We investigate the existence of positive solutions for a nonlinear second-order difference equation with a linear term and a sign-changing nonlinearity, supplemented with multi-point boundary conditions. In the proof of our main results, we use the Guo–Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem.

We discuss the existence of positive solutions of a boundary value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equation with changing sign nonlinearity. We first derive some properties of the associated Green function and then obtain some results on the existence of positive solutions by means of the Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem in a cone.

the existence of positive solutions for a fourth-order boundary value problem with a sign-changing nonlinear term is investigated. By using Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem, sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of at least one positive solution are obtained. An example is presented to illustrate the application of our main results.

We are concerned with the following nonlinear three-point fractional boundary value problem:D0+αut+λatft,ut=0,0<t<1,u0=0, andu1=βuη, where1<α≤2,0<β<1,0<η<1,D0+αis the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative,at>0is continuous for0≤t≤1, andf≥0is continuous on0,1×0,∞. By using Krasnoesel'skii's fixed-point theorem and the corresponding Green function, we obtain some results for the existence of positive solutions. At the end of this paper, we give an example to illustrate our main results.

We consider a discrete fractional nonlinear boundary value problem in which nonlinear termfis involved with the fractional order difference. And we transform the fractional boundary value problem into boundary value problem of integer order difference equation. By using a generalization of Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of at least three positive solutions.
