## Positive solutions of three-point boundary value problems for the one-dimensional $$p$$-Laplacian with infinitely many singularities.(English)Zbl 1060.34006

Summary: We consider the singular three-point boundary value problem $(\phi(y'))' + a(t)f(y(t)) = 0,\quad 0 < t < 1,\quad y'(0) = 0,\quad y(1) = y(\zeta),$ where $$\phi(s) = |s|^{p-2}s$$, $$p \geq 2$$, $$0 < \beta < 1$$, $$0 < \zeta < 1$$, $$f\in C([0, +\infty )$$, $$[0, +\infty ))$$, $$a: [0,1]\to [0, +\infty)$$, and has countably many singularities in $$[0, 1/2)$$. We show that there exist countably many positive solutions by using the fixed-point index theory.
