Amann fixed point theorem, where ϕp s |s|p−2 s, p > 1, 0 < ξ1 < ξ2 < · · · < ξm−2 < 1, ai > 0, bi > 0, m−2 0 < m−2 i1 ai < 1, 0 < i1 bi < 1. The interesting thing is that gt may be singular at any point of 0,1 and f may be noncontinuous. Copyright q 2008 Weihua Jiang et al.

respectively, where ϕp s |s|p−2 s, p > 1, 0 < ξ1 < ξ2 < · · · < ξm−2 < 1, ai > 0, bi > 0, 0 < m−2 m−2 i1 ai < 1, 0 < i1 bi < 1, gt may be singular at any point of 0,1. The multipoint boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations arise in a variety of different areas of applied mathematics and physics. The study of the multipoint boundary value problems for linear second-order ordinary differential equations was initiated by Il’in and Moiseev 1, 2. Since then, nonlinear second-order multipoint boundary value problems have been studied by several authors. We refer the reader to 3–9 and references cited therein. Recently, in 10, Liang and Zhang studied the existence of positive solutions for differential equation
