The method of quasilinearization generates a monotone iteration scheme whose iterates converge quadratically to a unique solution of the problem at hand. In this paper, we apply the method to two families of three-point boundary value problems for second order ordinary differential equations: Linear boundary conditions and nonlinear boundary conditions are addressed independently. For linear boundary conditions, an appropriate Green\`s function is constructed. Fer nonlinear boundary conditions, we show that these nonlinearities can be addressed similarly to the nonlinearities in the differential equation.

In this paper, a third-order three-point boundary value problem on time scales is considered. We establish criteria for the existence of a solution and a positive solution by using the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem. An example is also given to illustrate our results.

In this paper, we consider a discrete fractional nonlinear boundary value problem in which nonlinear term f is involved with the fractional order difference. 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.

In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for three-point boundary value problem of nonlinear fractional q-difference equation. Some existence and uniqueness results are obtained by applying some standard fixed point theorems. As applications, two examples are presented to illustrate the main results.

This paper studies the iteration method of solving a type of second-order three-point boundary value problem with non-linear term f, which depends on the first order derivative. By using the upper and lower method, we obtain the sufficient conditions of the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Furthermore, the monotone iterative sequences generated by the method contribute to the minimum solution and the maximum solution. And the error estimate formula is also given under the condition of unique solution. We apply the solving process to a special boundary value problem, and the result is interesting.

This paper deals with the existence of triple positive solutions for the nonlinear second-order three-point boundary value problem z"(t)+a(t)f(t, z(t), z'(t))=0, t $\in$ (0, 1), $z(0)={\nu}z(1)\;{\geq}\;0$, $z'(\eta)=0$, where 0 < $\nu$ < 1, 0 < $\eta$ < 1 are constants. f : [0, 1] $\times$ [0, $+{\infty}$) $\times$ R $\rightarrow$ [0, $+{\infty}$) and a : (0, 1) $\rightarrow$ [0, $+{\infty}$) are continuous. First, Green's function for the associated linear boundary value problem is constructed, and then, by means of a fixed point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, sufficient conditions are obtained that guarantee the existence of triple positive solutions to the boundary value problem. The interesting point is that the nonlinear term f is involved with the first-order derivative explicitly.

In this paper, the singular three-point boundary value problem $$\{{{u"(t)\;+\;f(t,\;u)\;=\;0,\;t\;{\in}\;(0,\;1),}\atop{u(0)\;=\;0,\;u(1)\;=\;{\alpha}u(\eta),}}\$$ is studied, where 0 < $\eta$ < 1, $\alpha$ > 0, f(t,u) may be singular at u = 0. By mixed monotone method, the existence and uniqueness are established for the above singular three-point boundary value problems. The theorems obtained are very general and complement previous know results.

In this paper, we consider the periodic boundary value problem with sign changing nonlinearity $$u^{{\prime}{\prime}{\prime}}+{\rho}^3u=f(t,u),\;t{\in}[0,2{\pi}]$$, subject to the boundary value conditions: $$u^{(i)}(0)=u^{(i)}(2{\pi}),\;i=0,1,2$$, where ${\rho}{\in}(o,{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}})$ is a positive constant and f(t, u) is a continuous function. Using Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of at least three positive solutions to the above boundary value problem. The interesting point is the nonlinear term f may change sign.
