We consider the boundary value problems: (phi(p) (x'(t)))' + q(t) f (t, x (t), x (t - 1), x' (t)) = (0), phi(P)(s) = vertical bar s vertical bar(p-2)s, P > 1, t is an element of (0, 1), subject to some boundary conditions. By using a generalization of the LeggettWilliams fixed-point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of at least three positive solutions to the above problems.
