On six solutions for \(m\)-point differential equations system with two coupled parallel sub-super solutions. (English) Zbl 1241.34022

J. Appl. Math. 2012, Article ID 359251, 15 p. (2012).
Summary: Assuming the existence of two coupled parallel sub-super solutions, the existence of at least six solutions for a class of second-order \(m\)-point boundary value problems is obtained by using the fixed point index theory. An example to illustrate our result is given.
