Summary
<p>In this project, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for a system of nonlinear iterative impulsive differential equations of order $n \ge 3$ with multi-point boundary conditions. The equations in our problem exhibit a cyclic dependence ($\kappa_{r+1} = \kappa_1$), where each equation relies on the solution of the next. Additionally, impulses occur in the $(n-2)$-th and $(n-1)$-th derivatives at specific points $t_p$. To overcome the analytical difficulties caused by the high order, we use the transformation $\kappa_i^{(n-2)} = y_i$ to reduce the problem to an equivalent second-order impulsive system. We then construct a Green's function for this reduced problem and examine its basic properties. Using this integral representation, we define a composite operator $T = T_r \circ \dots \circ T_1$ acting on a cone in the piecewise continuous function space $PC(J)$. We show that this operator is completely continuous via the PC-Arzelà-Ascoli theorem, and prove that it preserves an invariant ball under specific growth conditions on the nonlinear terms. Finally, assuming hypotheses (K1)-(K8) hold, we apply the Schauder fixed point theorem to establish the existence of at least one positive $r$-tuple solution. We conclude by providing a third-order, two-dimensional example to demonstrate the applicability of our theoretical results.</p>
