Existence of positive solutions for non-positive higher-order BVPs

Abstract We shall provide conditions on non-positive function f ( t , u 1 ,…, u n −1 ) so that the boundary value problem has at least one positive solution. Then, we shall apply this result to establish several existence theorems which guarantee the multiple positive solutions.
