For the nth order nonlinear differential equation y (n)(t)=f(y(t)), t [0,1], satisfying the multipoint conjugate boundary conditions, y (j)(ai) = 0,1 i k, 0 j n i - 1, 0 =a 1 a 2 a k = 1, and i=1 k n i =n, where f: [0, ) is continuous, growth condtions are imposed on f which yield the existence of at least three solutions that belong to a cone.

The concept of concavity is generalized to functions, y, satisfying nth-order differential inequalities. … An analogous inequality for a related Green’s function is also obtained. These inequalities are useful in applications of certain cone theoretic fixed-point theorems.

partially ordered set X has countable width if and only if every collection of pairwise incomparable elements of X is countable. It is order-separable if and only if there is a countable subset D of X such that whenever p, q ∈ X and p < q, there is r ∈ D such that p ≤ r ≤ q. Can every order-separable poset of countable width be written as the union of a countable number of chains? We show that the answer to this question is "no" if there is a 2-entangled subset of IR, and "yes" under the Open Coloring Axiom.
