Abstract: In this paper, we explore the existence of nontrivial solution for the fifth-order three-point boundary value problem of the form \(u^{(5)}(t)+f(t,u(t))=0,\quad\text 0<t<1,\) with boundary conditions \(u(0)=0,\quad u^{‘}(0)=u^{”}(0)=u^{”’}(0)=0,\quad u(1)=\alpha u(\eta),\) where \(0<\eta<1\), \(\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\), \(\alpha\eta^{4}\neq1\), \(f\in C([0,1]\times\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})\). Under certain growth conditions on the non-linearity \(f\) and using Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative, we prove the existence of at least one solution of the posed problem. Furthermore, the obtained results are further illustrated by mean of some examples.
