Abstract

This paper examines the application of fixed point index theory to set-valued mappings in ordered Banach spaces, with a specific focus on Leggett-Williams type fixed point theorems. The study provides novel conditions for the existence of one and multiple fixed points under a range of assumptions. Additionally, it applies these results to prove the existence of positive solutions for the second-order differential inclusion problem \( - x''(t) \in f\left( {t,x(t)} \right),t \in [0,1]\) with boundary conditions \(x(0)=0=x'(1)\). The obtained results contribute to expanding the scope of application of fixed point theory, providing new techniques for solving boundary value problems in different cases.
