We study the existence of positive solutions to the three-point integral boundary value problem u a t f u 0 t e 0 1 m 0 0 a f u s ds u 1 where 0 n 1 and 0 a 2 p2. We show the existence of at least one positive solution iff is either superlinear or sublinear by applying the fixed point theorem in cones. 1. Introduction The study of the existence of solutions of multipoint boundary value problems for linear second-order ordinary differential equations was initiated by Il in and Moiseev 1 . Then Gupta 2 studied three-point boundary value problems for nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations. Since then nonlinear second-order three-point boundary value problems have also been studied by several authors. We refer the reader to 3-19 and the references therein. However all these papers are concerned with problems with three-point boundary condition restrictions on the slope of the solutions and the solutions themselves for example u 0 0 u 0 Pu n u 0 0 u 0 - u O 0 au 0 - u O 0 au fi u 1 au n u 1 au n u 1 au n u 1 u n u 1 0 and so forth. 2 Boundary Value Problems In this .
