Positive solutions for third-order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems with p-Laplacian
In this paper, by using the fixed point index method, we establish the existence of at least one or at least two positive solutions for the third-order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem with p-Laplacian [GRAPHICS] where phi(p)(s) = vertical bar s vertical bar(p-2)s, p > 1. As an application, an example is given to demonstrate the main result. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
