In the paper, the existence of sign-changing solutions for nonlinear operator equations in ordered Banach spaces is discussed by using the topological degree and fixed point index theory. The authors obtain some new three-solution theorems for fixed point equations of increasing operators and for general operators. The three-solution theorems are different from those of Amann and Leggett-Williams. In these theorems, all the three solutions are nonzero: one is positive, another is negative and the third one is sign-changing. These results are significant. The authors also apply their results to an integral equation and a boundary value problem for a differential equation.
