Values of $\lambda$ are determined for which there exist positive solutions of the system of three-point boundary value problems, $u^{\text{'}\text{'}}+\lambda a\left(t\right)f\left(v\right)=0$, $v^{\text{'}\text{'}}+\lambda b\left(t\right)g\left(u\right)=0$, for $0<t<1$, and satisfying, $u\left(0\right)=\beta u\left(\eta \right)$, $u\left(1\right)=\alpha u\left(\eta \right)$, $v\left(0\right)=\beta v\left(\eta \right)$, $v\left(1\right)=\alpha v\left(\eta \right)$. A Guo-Krasnosel’skii fixed point theorem is applied.

Let $𝒟$ denote a true dimension function, i.e., a dimension function such that $𝒟\left({ℝ}^n\right)=n$ for all $n$. For a space $X$, we denote the hyperspace consisting of all compact connected, non-empty subsets by $C\left(X\right)$. If $X$ is a countable infinite product of non-degenerate Peano continua, then the sequence ${\left({𝒟}_{\ge n}\left(C\left(X\right)\right)\right)}_{n=2}^{\infty }$ is $F_{\sigma }$-absorbing in $C\left(X\right)$. As a consequence, there is a homeomorphism $h:C\left(X\right)\to Q^{\infty }$ such that for all $n$, $h\left[\{A\in C\left(X\right):𝒟\left(A\right)\ge n+1\}\right]=B^n\times Q\times Q\times \cdots$, where $B$ denotes the pseudo boundary of the Hilbert cube $Q$. It follows that if $X$ is a countable infinite product of non-degenerate...
