Existence and uniqueness of nontrivial solutions for nonlinear higher-order three-point eigenvalue problems on time scales

Wei Han, Yonggui Kao

Abstract:
In this paper, we study a nonlinear higher-order three-point eigenvalue problems with first-order derivative on time scales. Under certain growth conditions on the nonlinearity, sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of nontrivial solutions, which are easily verifiable, are obtained by using the Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative. The conditions used in the paper are different from those in [4, 10, 21]. To show applications of our main results, we present some examples.
