Some new existence and uniqueness theorems of fixed points of mixed monotone operators are obtained, and then they are applied to a nonlinear singular second-order three-point boundary value problem on time scales. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution for the above problem which cannot be solved by using previously available methods.. Introduction The study of mixed monotone operators has been a matter of discussion since they were introduced by Guo and Lakshmikantham in 987, because it has not only important theoretical meaning but also wide applications in microeconomics, the nuclear industry, and so on see 4. Recently, some new and interesting results about these kinds of operators have emerged, and they are used extensively in nonlinear differential and integral equations see 5 9. In this paper, we extend the main results of 9 to mixed monotone operators. Without demanding compactness and continuity conditions and the existence of upper and lower solutions, we study the existence, uniqueness, and iterative convergence of fixed points of a class of mixed monotone operators. Then, we apply these results to the following singular second-order three-point boundary value problem on time scales: x t w t [ f x t f 2 x t ], t a, b T, x a 0, x σ 2 b δx η,.

2 2 Boundary Value Problems where a, b T with a < b, η a, b T,and0 < δ < σ 2 b a / η a. The functions w : a, b 0, and f i : 0, 0, i, 2 are continuous. Our nonlinearity w may have singularity at t a and/or t b and f i x i, 2 may have singularity at x 0. To understand the notations used in., werecallthatt is a time scales, that is, T is an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of R. ForeachintervalI of R, wedefineit I T. For more details on time scales, one can refer to 0 2. In recent years, there is much attention paid to the existence of positive solutions for nonlocal boundary value problems on time scales, see 3 8 and references therein. Dynamic equations have been applied in the study of insect population models, stock market and heat transfer and so on Time scales can be used in microeconomics models to study behavior which is sometimes continuous and sometimes discrete. A simple example of this continuous-discrete behavior is seen in suppliers short-run decisions and long-run decisions. Unifying both continuous and discrete model can avoid repeat research and has the capacity to get some different types of models which neither continuous models nor discrete models can effectively describe. On the other hand, singular boundary value problems on time scales have also been investigated extensively see We would like to mention some results of DaCunha et al. 23, Hao et al. 25, Luo 26, andhu 27, which motivated us to consider problem.. In 23, DaCunha et al. considered the following singular second-order three-point dynamic boundary value problem: x t f t, x, t 0, T, x 0 0, x σ 2 x η,.2 where η 0, T is fixed and f t, x is singular at x 0 and possible at t 0, x. The authors claimed that we note that this is the first work to our knowledge that deals with singular boundary value problems in a general time scales setting. The results on existence of positive solutions were obtained by means of a fixed point theorem due to Gatica, Oliker and Waltman for mappings that are decreasing with respect to a cone. In 25, Hao et al. were concerned with the following singular boundary value problem of nonlinear dynamic equation [ ϕ t x Δ t ] Δ λm t f t, x σ t 0, t a, b T,.3 αx a βx Δ a 0, γx σ b δx Δ σ b 0, where m : a, σ b T 0, is rl-continuous and may be singular at t a and/or t σ b. With suitable growth and limit conditions, an existence theorem of positive solutions was established by using the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem.

3 Boundary Value Problems 3 In 26, Luo studied the following singular m-point dynamic eigenvalue problem with mixed derivatives: p t u t Δ λf t, u t, t 0, T, m 2 u 0 a i u ξ i, i m 2 γu δp u Δ b i p ξ i u Δ ξ i, i.4 where f t, w is singular at t 0andw 0. The author obtained eigenvalue intervals in which there exists at least one positive solution of problem.4 by making use of the fixed point index theory. In 27, Hu were concerned with the following singular third-order three-point boundary value problem on time scales: u ΔΔ t w t f t, u t 0, t a, b T,.5 u ρ a βu Δ ρ a αu η, γu η u b, u ΔΔ ρ a 0, where w : a, b T 0, and f : a, b T 0, 0, are continuous. The nonlinearity w may have singularity at t a and/or t b and f t, u may have singularity at u 0. With the aid of the fixed point theorem of cone expansion and compression type, results on the existence of positive solutions to.5 were obtained in the bounded set. From the above research, we note that there is no result on the uniqueness of solutions and convergence of the iterative sequences for singular boundary value problems on time scales. As we know, completely continuity condition is crucial for the above discussion. However, it is difficult to verify for singular problems on time scales, in particular, in order to remove the singularity in f u at u 0, more restricted conditions are required. For instance, condition A of Theorem 2.3 in 23 and condition C 2 of Theorem 3. in 27. In our abstract results on mixed monotone operators, since the compactness and continuity conditions are not required, they can be directly applied to singular boundary value problem.. The purpose of this paper is to present some conditions for problem. that have a unique solution, the iterative sequences yielding approximate solutions are also given. Our main result generalizes and improves Theorem 2.3 in Preliminaries and Abstract Theorems Let the real Banach space E be partially ordered by a cone P of E, thatis,x y if and only if y x P. A : P P P is said to be a mixed monotone operator if A x, y is increasing in x and decreasing in y, thatis,u i,v i i, 2 P, u u 2, v v 2 implies A u,v A u 2,v 2. Element x P is called a fixed point of A if A x, x x. Recall that cone P is said to be solid if the interior P is nonempty and we denote x θ if x P. P is said to be normal if there exists a positive constant N, suchthatθ x y x N y, the smallest N is called the normal constant of P. Forallx, y E, the notation

4 4 Boundary Value Problems x y means that there exist λ>0andμ>0suchthatλx y μx. Clearly, is an equivalence relation. Given h>θ i.e., h θ and h / θ, wedenotebyp h the set P h {x E x h}. Itis easy to see that P h P is convex and λp h P h for all λ>0. If P / and h P, it is clear that P h P. All the concepts discussed above can be found in, 2, 4. For more results about mixed monotone operators and other related concepts, the reader is referred to 3, 5 9 and some of the references therein. In 9, Zhai and Cao introduced the following definition of τ-ϕ-concave operators. Definition 2. see 9. LetE be a real Banach space and P be a cone in E. We say an operator A : P P is τ-ϕ-concave if there exist two positive-valued functions τ t,ϕ t on interval a, b such that H τ : a, b 0, is a surjection; H 2 ϕ t >τ t,forallt a, b ; H 3 A τ t x ϕ t Ax,forallt a, b, x P. They obtained the following result. Theorem 2.2 see 9. Let E be a real Banach space and P be a normal cone in E. Suppose that an operator A : P P is increasing and τ-ϕ-concave. In addition, suppose that there exists h P \{θ} such that Ah P h.then i there are u 0,v 0 P h and r 0, such that rv 0 u 0 v 0, u 0 Au 0 Av 0 v 0 ; ii operator A has a unique fixed point x in u 0,v 0 ; iii for any initial x 0 P h, constructing successively the sequence x n Ax n, n, 2,..., we have x n x 0 n. We can extend Theorem 2.2 to mixed monotone operators, our main results can be stated as follows. Theorem 2.3. Let P be a normal cone in a real Banach space E, anda : P P P amixed monotone operator. Assume that for all a<t<b, there exist two positive-valued functions τ t,ϕ t on interval a, b such that C τ : a, b 0, is a surjection; C 2 ϕ t >τ t, for all t a, b ; C 3 A τ t x, /τ t y ϕ t A x, y, for all t a, b, x, y P. In addition, suppose that there exists h P \{θ} such that A h, h P h.then i there are u 0,v 0 P h and r 0, such that rv 0 u 0 v 0, u 0 A u 0,v 0 A v 0,u 0 v 0 ; ii operator A has a unique fixed point x in u 0,v 0 ; iii for any initial x 0,y 0 P h, constructing successively the sequences x n A x n,y n, y n A y n,x n, n, 2,...,wehave x n x 0 and y n x 0 as n.

5 Boundary Value Problems 5 Corollary 2.4. Let E be a real Banach space, P a normal, solid cone in E. Suppose A : P P P is a mixed monotone operator and satisfies the conditions C C 3 of Theorem 2.3. Then i there are u 0,v 0 P and r 0, such that rv 0 u 0 v 0, u 0 A u 0,v 0 A v 0,u 0 v 0 ; ii operator A has a unique fixed point x in P ; iii for any initial x 0,y 0 P, constructing successively the sequences x n A x n,y n, y n A y n,x n, n, 2,...,wehave x n x 0and y n x 0as n. Remark 2.5. In Theorem 2.3, ifa : P P P with P is a solid cone, we can know that A h, h P h is automatically satisfied. Therefore, we can deduce that Corollary 2.4 holds from Theorem 2.3. For simplicity, we only present the proof of Theorem 2.3. Proof of Theorem 2.3. Note that A h, h P h,wecanfindasufficiently small number e 0 0, such that e 0 h A h, h h e According to C, we can obtain that there exists t a, b such that τ t e 0,thus τ t h A h, h h τ t. 2.2 Since ϕ t >τ t, we can find a positive integer k such that ϕ t k τ t τ t. 2.3 Let u 0 τ t k h, v 0 / τ t k h, and construct successively the sequences u n A u n,v n, v n A v n,u n, n, 2, It is clear that u 0,v 0 P h and u 0 <v 0, u A u 0,v 0 A v 0,u 0 v. In general, we obtain u n v n, n, 2,... It follows from C 3, 2.2, and 2.3 that u A u 0,v 0 A τ t k h h, τ t k A τ t τ t k h h, τ t τ t k ϕ t A τ t k h h, τ t k

6 6 Boundary Value Problems ϕ t A τ t τ t k 2 h h, τ t τ t k 2 [ ϕ t ] 2 A τ t k 2 h h, τ t k 2 [ ϕ t ] k A h, h [ ϕ t ] k τ t h τ t k h u From C 3,wehave x A τ t,τ t y ϕ t A x, y, t a, b, x,y P. 2.6 Combining 2.2 with 2.3 and 2.6,wehave h v A v 0,u 0 A τ t, τ t k h k h A τ t τ t,τ t τ t k k h ϕ t A h τ t, τ t k h k ϕ t A τ t h τ t,τ t τ t k 2 k 2 h [ ] 2 h A ϕ t τ t, τ t k 2 h k 2 [ ] k A h, h ϕ t [ ] k h ϕ t τ t h τ t k v

7 Boundary Value Problems 7 Thus, we obtain u 0 u v v By induction, it is easy to obtain that u 0 u u n v n v v Take any r 0, τ t 2k,thenr 0, and u 0 rv 0. So we can know that u n u 0 rv 0 rv n, n, 2, Let r n sup{r >0 u n rv n }, n, 2, Thus, we have u n r n v n, n, 2,...,andthen u n u n r n v n r n v n, n, 2, Therefore, r n r n ;thatis, 0 <r 0 r r n. 2.3 Set r lim n r n, we will show that r. In fact, if 0 < r <, by C,thereexists t 2 a, b such that τ t 2 r. Consider the following two cases. i There exists an integer N such that r N r. In this case, we have r n r and u n r v n for all n N hold. Hence u n A u n,v n A r v n, r u n A τ t 2 v n, τ t 2 u n ϕ t 2 A v n,u n ϕ t 2 v n, n N. 2.4 By the definition of r n,wehave r n r ϕ t 2 >τ t 2 r, n N, 2.5 which is a contradiction.

8 8 Boundary Value Problems ii For all integers n, r n < r. Then, we obtain 0 < r n /r <. By C,thereexist z n a, b such that τ z n r n /r.hence u n A u n,v n A r n v n, rn rn u n A r r v n, ϕ z n A r v n, r u n ϕ z n A τ t 2 v n, τ t 2 u n r n /r r u n A τ z n r v n, τ z n r u n ϕ z n ϕ t 2 A v n,u n ϕ z n ϕ t 2 v n. 2.6 By the definition of r n,wehave r n ϕ z n ϕ t 2 >τ z n ϕ t 2 r n r ϕ t Let n,wehave r ϕ t 2 >τ t 2 r, 2.8 which is also a contradiction. Thus, lim n r n. Furthermore, similarly to the proof of Theorem 2. in 9, thereexitsx u 0,v 0 such that lim n u n lim n v n x,andx is the fixed point of operator A. Inthefollowing,weprovethatx is the unique fixed point of A in P h. In fact, suppose that x P h is another fixed point of operator A.Let { c sup 0 <c cx x } c x. 2.9 Clearly, 0 <c andc x x /c x.if0<c <, according to C,thereexists t 3 a, b such that τ t 3 c.then x A x,x A c x, c x A τ t 3 x, τ t 3 x ϕ t 3 A x,x ϕ t 3 x, x A x,x A x,c x c A τ t 3 x,τ t 3 x 2.20 ϕ t 3 A x,x ϕ t 3 x. It follows that ϕ t 3 x x ϕ t 3 x. 2.2

9 Boundary Value Problems 9 Hence, c ϕ t 3 >τ t 3 c, which is a contradiction. Thus we have c, that is, x x. Therefore, A has a unique fixed point x in P h.notethat u 0,v 0 P h, so we know that x istheuniquefixedpointofa in u 0,v 0. For any initial x 0,y 0 P h,wecanchooseasmall number e 0, such that eh x 0 e h, eh y 0 h e From C,thereist 4 a, b such that τ t 4 e,thus τ t 4 h x 0 τ t 4 h, τ t 4 h y 0 τ t 4 h We can choose a sufficiently large positive integer q such that ϕ t4 q τ t 4 τ t Take û 0 τ t 4 q h, v 0 / τ t 4 q h. Wecanfindthat û 0 x 0 v 0, û 0 y 0 v 0, 2.25 constructing successively the sequences x n A x n,y n, yn A y n,x n, n, 2,..., û n A û n, v n, v n A v n, û n, n, 2, By using the mixed monotone properties of operator A,wehave û n x n v n, û n y n v n, n, 2, Similarly to the above proof, we can know that there exists y P h such that A y,y y, lim û n lim n n v n y By the uniqueness of fixed points of operator A in P h,wehavey x. Taking into account that P is normal, we deduce that lim n x n lim n y n x. This completes the proof. 3. Applications to Singular BVP. on Time Scales A Banach space E C a, σ 2 b T is the set of real-valued continuous in the topology of T function u t defined on a, σ 2 b T with the norm u max t a,σ 2 b T u t.

10 0 Boundary Value Problems Define a cone by P { } u E min u t t a,σ 2 b T It is clear that P is a normal cone of which the normality constant is. In order to obtain our main result, we need the following lemmas. Lemma 3. see 8. The Green function corresponding to the following problem x ΔΔ t 0, t a, b T, x a 0, x σ 2 b δx η 3.2 is given by δg η, s K t, s G t, s σ 2 b a δ t a, η a 3.3 where t a σ 2 b σ s, t s, G t, s σ 2 b a σ s a σ 2 b t, t σ s, 3.4 is Green s function for the BVP: x ΔΔ t 0, t a, b T, x a x σ 2 b Lemma 3.2 see 8. For any t, s a, σ 2 b T a, σ b T,wehave δg η, s [ σ 2 b a δ δg η, s ] t a K t, s η a σ 2 b a δ η a t a. 3.6 Our main result is the following theorem. Theorem 3.3. Assume that E f is nondecreasing, f 2 is nonincreasing and there exist τ t,ϕ t on interval a, b T such that τ : a, b T 0, is a surjection and ϕ t >τ t, for all t a, b T which satisfy f τ μ x f2 τ μ x 2 ϕ μ [ f x f 2 x 2 ], μ a, b T,x,x 2 P; 3.7

11 Boundary Value Problems E 2 there exist two constants N,N 2 > 0 and h P \{0} such that N h t σ b a K t, s w s [ f h s f 2 h s ] Δs N 2 h t, t [ ] a, σ 2 b T. 3.8 Then problem. has a unique positive solution x in P h. Moreover, for any initial x 0,y 0 P h, constructing successively the sequences x n t y n t σ b a σ b a K t, s w s [ f x n s f 2 yn s ] Δs, K t, s w s [ f yn s f 2 x n s ] Δs, t t [ ] a, σ 2 b,n, 2,..., T [ ] a, σ 2 b, n, 2,..., T 3.9 we have x n x 0and y n x 0as n. Proof of Theorem 3.3. Define an operator A : P P E A x,x 2 t σ b a K t, s w s [ f x s f 2 x 2 s ] Δs, t [ ] a, σ 2 b T. 3.0 It is easy to check that x is a solution of problem. if and only if x is a fixed point of operator A. Clearly, we can know that A : P P P is a mixed monotone operator. For any μ a, b T and x,x 2 P, according to E,weobtain A τ μ x, τ μ x 2 σ b a [ K t, s w s f τ μ x s ] f 2 τ μ x 2 s Δs ϕ μ σ b K t, s w s [ f x s f 2 x 2 s ] Δs a 3. ϕ μ A x,x 2. Hence, A τ μ x, τ μ x 2 ϕ μ A x,x 2, for μ a, b T, x,x 2 P. 3.2 In addition, from E 2, we know that N h t A h, h σ b a K t, s w s [ f h s f 2 h s ] Δs N 2 h t, t [ ] a, σ 2 b T. 3.3 Thus A h, h P h. Therefore, all the conditions of Theorem 2.3 are satisfied. By Theorem 2.3, wecanobtaintheconclusionsoftheorem 3.3.

12 2 Boundary Value Problems Now, let us end this paper by the following example. Example 3.4. Let T 0, /2 2/3,, consider the following BVP on time scales x ΔΔ t t [ ] 3 x /2 t 5, t 0, x /2 T, t x 0 0, x 2x Set w t /t, f x 3 x /2, f 2 x 5 /x /2, τ t t, ϕ t t 2/3.Thenτ : 0, T 0, is a surjection and ϕ t >τ t for t 0, T. For any t 0,, x,x 2 P, it is easy to check that f tx f 2 t x 2 3 tx /2 5 x 2 /t /2 t 2/3 3 x /2 5 x /2 2 t 2/3[ f x f 2 x 2 ]. 3.5 It follows from Lemma 3. that G 3,s 3 σ s, 3 s, 2 3 σ s, 3 σ s. 3.6 Let 0 6G /3,s /s 3 s/2 5 /s /2 Δs d,since /3 2 d s 8 s /2 /2 ds 6 s s /2 /3 3 s 8 s /2 ds s s /2 2/3 6 /2 3 σ s 8 s /2 Δs 6 s s /2 2/3 3 σ s 8 s /2 ds s s /2 32 ln 3 ln / /2 4 3 / /2 4 2 /2 8 3 /2 / >

13 Boundary Value Problems 3 We choose h t t a t, according to Lemma 3.2,wehave K t, s [ f s f 2 s ] Δs td, 0 s K t, s [ f s f 2 s ] [ Δs t d 8 s /2 ] Δs. 0 s 0 s s /2 3.8 By Theorem 3.3, problem 3.4 has a unique positive solution x in P h P t. For any initial x 0,y 0 P t, constructing successively the sequences x n t y n t K t, s [ ] 8 x /2 0 s n s y /2 n s Δs, t 0, T,n, 2,..., K t, s [ ] 8 y /2 0 s n s x /2 n s Δs, t 0, T, n, 2,..., 3.9 we have x n x 0, y n x 0asn. Remark 3.5. Example 3.4 indicates that Theorem 3.3 generalizes and complements Theorem 2.3 in 8 at the following aspects. Firstly, in our proof, we only need to check the conditions there exists h P \{θ} such that A h, h P h, in fact, the author has shown that A : P h P h in the proof of Theorem 2.3 in 8. It is clear that our hypotheses are weaker than those imposed in Theorem 2.3 in 8. According to Lemma 3.2, wecanknow that the condition E 2 is automatically satisfied. Secondly, we have considered the case that the condition τ t t and ϕ t t q q 0, is not satisfied, therefore, the condition E incorporates the more comprehensive functions than the condition H 3 in Theorem 2.3 in 8. Thirdly, the more general conditions are imposed on our nonlinear term, they can be the sum of nondecreasing functions and nonincreasing functions. Acknowledgment H.
