In this article, we study the existence of positive solutions to a nonlinear third-order three point boundary value problem. The main tools are Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem on cones, and the fixed point index theory.

In this paper, we improve some recent coupled fixed point resultsfor single-valued operators in the framework of ordered $b$-metricspaces established by Bota et al. [M-F. Bota, A. Petrusel, G.Petrusel and B. Samet, Coupled fixed point theorems forsingle-valued operators in b-metric spaces, Fixed Point TheoryAppl. (2015) 2015:231]. Also, we prove that Perov-type fix...

In this paper, we discuss and extend some recent common fixed point results established by using $varphi-$weakly contractive mappings. A very important step in the development of the fixed point theory was given by A.H. Ansari by the introduction of a $C-$class function. Using $C-$class functions, we generalize some known fixed point results. This type of functions is a very important class of ...

In this paper we use degree and index theory to present new applicable fixed point theory for permissible maps.

Let f : X → X be a map of a compact, connected Riemannian manifold, with or without boundary. For > 0 sufficiently small, we introduce an -Nielsen number N ( f ) that is a lower bound for the number of fixed points of all self-maps of X that are -homotopic to f . We prove that there is always a map g : X → X that is -homotopic to f such that g has exactlyN ( f ) fixed points. We describe proced...

New fixed point results are presented for multivalued maps defined on subsets of a Fréchet space E. The proof relies on the notion of a pseudo open set, degree and index theory, and on viewing E as the projective limit of a sequence of Banach spaces.

Positive solutions of systems of Hammerstein integral equations are studied by using the theory of the fixed-point index for compact maps defined on cones in Banach spaces. Criteria for the fixed-point index of the Hammerstein integral operators being 1 or 0 are given. These criteria are generalizations of previous results on a single Hammerstein integral operator. Some of criteria are new and ...

In this paper, we consider the eigenvalue problems for fourth order integral boundary value problems on time scales for an increasing homeomorphism and homomorphism with sign changing nonlinearities. By using a fixed point index theorem, we give the existence of eigenvalue intervals in which there exist one symmetric positive solution to the problem. An example is also given to demonstrate the ...

Bymeans of the fixed point index theory of strict-set contraction operator, we study the existence of positive solutions for the multipoint singular boundary value problem −1 n−ku n t f t, u t , 0 < t < 1, n ≥ 2, 1 ≤ k ≤ n−1, u 0 ∑m−2 i 1 aiu ξi , u i 0 u j 1 θ, 1 ≤ i ≤ k−1, 0 ≤ j ≤ n−k−1 in a real Banach space E, where θ is the zero element of E, 0 < ξ1 < ξ2 < · · · < ξm−2 < 1, ai ∈ 0, ∞ , i 1...
