A new continuation theorem for the existence of solutions to \(p\)-Laplacian BVP at resonance (Q1004171): Difference between revisions

The authors utilize the generation of Mawhin's continuation theorem to present some sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence of at least one solution for the multi-point boundary value problem with a \(p\)-Laplacian at resonance: \[ \begin{cases} (\varphi_p(u''))'+f(t,u,u',u'')=0, \quad 0<t<1, \\ u(0)=0=u''(0), \quad u'(1)=\sum^{m-2}_{i=1}\alpha_iu'(\eta_i), \end{cases} \] where \(\varphi_p(s)=|s|^{p-2}s\), \(p>1\); \(\alpha_i>0\), \(\sum_{i=1}^{m-2}\alpha_i=1\); \(0<\eta_1<\eta_2<\cdots<\eta_{m-2}<1\).
