Abstract:
This work is concerned with the existence of two nontrival positive solutions to a class of boundary value problem (BVP), involving a $p$-Laplacian, of the form \begin{align*} (\Phi_p(x^{`}))^{`} + g(t)f(t,x) & = 0, \quad t \in (0,1),\ x(0)-ax^{`}(0) & = \alpha[x],\ x(1)+bx^{`}(1) & = \beta[x], \end{align*} where $\Phi_{p}(x) = |x|^{p-2}x$ is a one dimensional $p$-Laplacian operator with $p>1, a,b$ are real constants and $\alpha,\beta$ are given by the Riemann-Stieltjes integrals \[ \alpha[x] = \int \limits_{0}^{1} x(t)dA(t), \quad \beta[x] = \int \limits_{0}^{1} x(t)dB(t),\] with $A$ and $B$ are function of bounded variations. The approach is based on the fixed point index theory.
