Existence theorems for a second orderm-point boundary value problem at resonance

Abstract

Letf:[0,1]×R2→Rbe function satisfying Caratheodory's conditions ande(t)∈L1[0,1]. Letη∈(0,1),ξi∈(0,1),ai≥0,i=1,2,…,m−2, with∑i=1m−2ai=1,0<ξ1<ξ2<…<ξm−2<1be given. This paper is concerned with the problem of existence of a solution for the following boundary value problemsx″(t)=f(t,x(t),x′(t))+e(t),0<t<1,x′(0)=0,x(1)=x(η),x″(t)=f(t,x(t),x′(t))+e(t),0<t<1,x′(0)=0,x(1)=∑i=1m−2aix(ξi).Conditions for the existence of a solution for the above boundary value problems are given using Leray Schauder Continuation theorem.
