Abstract
In previous papers, degree theory for nonlinear operators has been used to study a class of three-point boundary-value problems for second order ordinary differential equations having a super-linear term, and existence of a sequence of solutions has been shown. In this paper, we forgo the previous approach for the shooting method, which gives a drastically simpler existence theory, with less assumptions, and easy calculation of solutions. We even obtain uniqueness in the simplest case. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
