review text: The authors are concerned with the existence of three positive solutions (p.s.) to the third-order boundary \[ -\Delta^3x(t-k)+f(x(t))=0,\quad t\in[a+k,b+k] \] with boundary conditions \(x(a)=\Delta x(t_2)=\Delta^2 x(b+1)=0\) where \(f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}\) is continuous, \(f\) is nonnegative for \(x\geq 0\) and \(k\in\{1,2\}\). In a previous paper the authors together with \textit{A. C. Peterson} [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 88, No.~1, 103-118 (1998; reviewed above)] imposed conditions on \(f\) to yield at least three p.s. to the enounced b.v.p. applying the fixed-point theorem (f.p.t.) of \textit{R. W. Leggett} and \textit{L. R. Williams} [Indiana Univ. Math. J. 28, 673-688 (1979; Zbl 0421.47033)]. \textit{R. I. Avery} [Math. Sci. Res. Hot-Line 3, No.~7, 9-14 (1999; Zbl 0965.47038)] has given a generalization of this f.p.t. which is used in the present paper to prove the existence of three p.s.
