Multiple solutions to third-order differential equations with derivative dependence and deviating arguments

In this paper, we give some new results for multiplicity of positive (nonnegative) solutions for third-order differential equations with derivative dependence, deviating arguments and Stieltjes integral boundary conditions. We discuss our problem with advanced argument α and arbitrary β ∈ C([0,1],[0,1]), see problem (2). It means that argument β can change the character on [0,1], so β can be delayed in some set J¯⊂ [0,1] and advanced in [0,1] \ J¯. Four examples illustrate the main results.
