Positive solutions for a fourth-order three-point BVP with sign-changing Green's function.

This paper is concerned with the following fourth-order three-point boundary value problem ... where n ∊ [1/3, 1). In spite of sign-changing Green's function, for arbitrary positive integer n (≥ 2), we still obtain the existence of at least n - 1 decreasing positive solutions to the above problem by imposing some suitable conditions on f . The main tool used is the fixed point index theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
