A discrete three-point boundary value problemΔ2xk−1+λfk(xk)=0,k=1,2,…,n, x0=0,axl=xn+1, is considered, where1≤l≤nis a fixed integer,ais a real constant number, andλis a positive parameter. A characterization of the values ofλis carried out so that the boundary value problem has the positive solutions. Particularly, in this paper the constantacan be negative numbers. The similar results are not valid for the three-point boundary value problem of differential equations.
