Existence of Positive Solutions for Third-Order -Point Boundary Value Problems with Sign-Changing Nonlinearity on Time Scales

A four-functional fixed point theorem and a generalization of Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem are used, respectively, to investigate the existence of at least one positive solution and at least three positive solutions for third-order -point boundary value problem on time scales with an increas...
