Description
Summary:<p/> <p>We study the existence of positive solutions to the three-point integral boundary value problem <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-519210-i1.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-519210-i2.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-519210-i3.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-519210-i4.gif"/></inline-formula>, where <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-519210-i5.gif"/></inline-formula> and <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-519210-i6.gif"/></inline-formula>. We show the existence of at least one positive solution if <it>f</it> is either superlinear or sublinear by applying the fixed point theorem in cones.</p>
