The existence and uniqueness results are obtained by using the method of upper and lower solutions together with Leray-Schauder degree theory. We give two examples to demonstrate our result.

Introduction Higher-order boundary value problems were discussed in many papers in recent years for instance see 1-22 and references therein. However most of all the boundary conditions in the above-mentioned references are for two-point boundary conditions 2-11 14 17-22 and three-point boundary conditions are rarely seen 1 12 13 16 18 . Furthermore works for nonlinear three point boundary conditions are quite rare in literatures. The purpose of this article is to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for higher order nonlinear three point boundary value problem x n f t x x . x n 1 n 3 2 Boundary Value Problems with nonlinear three point
