Using fixed point theorems in ordered Banach spaces with the lattice structure, we consider the existence of nontrivial solutions under the condition that the nonlinear term can change sign and study the existence of sign-changing solutions for some second order three-point boundary value problems. Our results improve and generalize on those in the literatures.

Abstract The connection between the number of internal zeros of nontrivial solutions to fourth-order self-adjoint boundary value problems and the inertia index of these problems is studied. We specify the types of problems for which such a connection can be established. In addition, we specify the types of problems for which a connection between the inertia index and the number of internal zeros of the derivatives of nontrivial solutions can be established. Examples demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed new approach to an oscillatory problem are considered.

This paper is concerned with boundary value problems for a fourth-order nonlinear difference equation. Via variational methods and critical point theory, sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions, the existence ofndistinct pairs of nontrivial solutions, and nonexistence of solutions. Some examples are provided to show the effectiveness of the main results.
