th-order three-point boundary value problem is first given, and growth conditions are imposed on nonlinearity
which yield the existence of countably many positive solutions by using the Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem and Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem for operators on a cone.
1. Introduction
The existence of positive solutions for nonlinear second-order and higher-order multipoint boundary value problems has been studied by several authors, for example, see [1–12] and the references therein. However, there are a few papers dealing with the existence of positive solutions for the th-order multipoint boundary value problems with infinitely many singularities. Hao et al. [13] discussed the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the following
th-order nonlinear singular boundary value problems:

where ,
,
may be singular at
and/or
. Hao et al. established the existence of at least two positive solution for the boundary value problems if
is either superlinear or sublinear by applying the Krasnosel'skii-Guo theorem on cone expansion and compression.
In [14], Kaufmann and Kosmatov showed that there exist countably many positive solutions for the two-point boundary value problems with infinitely many singularities of following form:

In [15], Ji and Guo proved the existence of countably many positive solutions for the th-order ordinary differential equation

with one of the following -point boundary conditions:

Motivated by the result of [13–15], in this paper we are interested in the existence of countably many positive solutions for nonlinear th-order three-point boundary value problem
![](http://media.springernature.com/full/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1155%2F2009%2F572512/MediaObjects/13661_2009_Article_862_Equ5_HTML.gif)

and
satisfy some suitable conditions. Our approach is based on the Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem and Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem in cones.
Suppose that the following conditions are satisfied.
There exists a sequence such that

Assuming that satisfies the conditions
-
(we cite [15, Example
] to verify existence of
) and imposing growth conditions on the nonlinearity
, it will be shown that problem (1.5) has infinitely many solutions.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we provide some necessary background material such as the Krasnosel'skii fixed-point theorem and Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem in cones. In Section 3, the associated Green's function for the th-order three-point boundary value problem is first given and we also look at some properties of the Green's function associated with problem (1.5). In Section 4, we prove the existence of countably many positive solutions for problem (1.5) under suitable conditions on
and
. In Section 5, we give two simple examples to illustrate the applications of obtained results.

Proof.
From Lemma 3.3 and (3.14), we get
![](http://media.springernature.com/full/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1155%2F2009%2F572512/MediaObjects/13661_2009_Article_862_Equ31_HTML.gif)
From Lemma 3.3 and (3.14), we have
![](http://media.springernature.com/full/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1155%2F2009%2F572512/MediaObjects/13661_2009_Article_862_Equ32_HTML.gif)
Next, we prove that (3.15) holds.

.
We use inequality (3.15) to define our cones. Let , then

by
![](http://media.springernature.com/full/springer-static/image/art%3A10.1155%2F2009%2F572512/MediaObjects/13661_2009_Article_862_Equ34_HTML.gif)
Define the operator by

Obviously, is a solution of (1.5) if and only if
is a fixed point of operator
.
Theorems 2.4 and 2.5 require the operator to be completely continuous and cone preserving. If

Clearly operator (3.21) is continuous. By the Arzela-Ascoli theorem is compact. Hence, the operator
is completely continuous and the proof is complete.

Remark 5.3.
In [8–12], the existence of solutions for local or nonlocal boundary value problems of higher-order nonlinear ordinary (fractional) differential equations that has been treated did not discuss problems with singularities. In [13], the singularity only allowed to appear at and/or
, the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions were asserted under suitable conditions on
. Although, [14, 15] seem to have considered the existence of countably many positive solutions for the second-order and higher-order boundary value problems with infinitely many singularities in
. However, in [15], only the boundary conditions
or
have been considered. It is clear that the boundary conditions of Examples 5.1 and 5.2 are
and
. Hence, we generalize second-order and higher-order multipoint boundary value problem.
