We consider a nonlocal boundary value problem for a third order differential equation. Sufficient conditions for the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for the problem are obtained. The results are illustrated with some examples.
Keywords: existence of positive solutions, nonexistence of positive solutions, nonlinear equations, Boundary value problems, nonlocal problems..
