Abstract: In this paper, we consider the three-point boundary value problem \phip(u′′(t)))′+a(t)f(t, u(t), u′(t), u′′(t)) = 0, t ∈ [0, 1] subject to the boundary conditions u(0) =βu′(0), u′(1) = αu′(η), u′′(0) = 0, where  \phip(s) = |s|p-2s with p > 1, 0 < α, η < 1and 0 ≤β < 1. Applying a fixed point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, we study the existence of at least three positive solutions to the above boundary value problem. 

Key words: third-order three-point boundary value problem, positive solution, fi xed point theorem
