    In this paper, we consider the existence of multiple positive solutions for the 2n-th order mm-point boundary value problems: {x(2n)(t)=f(t,x(t),xβ€²β€²(t),⋯ ,x(2(nβˆ’1))(t)),0≀t≀1,x(2i+1)(0)=βˆ‘j=1mβˆ’2Ξ±ijx(2i+1)(ΞΎj),x(2i)(1)=βˆ‘j=1mβˆ’2Ξ²ijx(2i)(ΞΎj),0≀i≀nβˆ’1,\left\{\begin{array}{ll} x^{(2n)}(t)=f(t,x(t),x^{''}(t),\cdots ,x^{(2(n-1))}(t)), 0\leq t\leq 1,\\ x^{(2i+1)}(0)=\sum\limits_{j=1}^{m-2}\alpha_{ij}x^{(2i+1)}(\xi_j),\quad x^{(2i)}(1)=\sum\limits_{j=1}^{m-2}\beta_{ij}x^{(2i)}(\xi_j), 0\leq i\leq n-1,\\ \end{array}\right. where Ξ±ij,Ξ²ijΒ (0≀i≀nβˆ’1,1≀j≀mβˆ’2)∈[0,∞)\alpha_{ij}, \beta_{ij} \ (0\leq i\leq n-1,1\leq j\leq m-2) \in [0,\infty), βˆ‘j=1mβˆ’2Ξ±ij,βˆ‘j=1mβˆ’2Ξ²ij∈(0,1)\sum\limits_{j=1}^{m-2}\alpha_{ij},\sum\limits_{j=1}^{m-2}\beta_{ij}\in (0,1), 0<ΞΎ1<ΞΎ2<…<ΞΎmβˆ’2<10<\xi_1<\xi_2<\ldots<\xi_{m-2}<1. Using Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of at least three positive solutions to the above boundary value problem
