An existence result for a multipoint boundary value problem on a time scale

Abstract

We will expand the scope of application of a fixed point theorem due to Krasnosel'skiĭ and Zabreiko to the family of second-order dynamic equations described by uΔΔ(t)=f(uσ(t)), t∈[0,1]∩T, with multipoint boundary conditions u(0)=0, u(σ2(1))=∑i=1nαiu(ηi), and ∑i=1nαi≤1 for the purpose of establishing existence results. We will determine sufficient conditions on our function f such that the assumptions of the fixed point theorem are satisfied, which in return gives us the existence of solutions.
