In some recent papers H. W. Knobloch and L. W. Erbe have established existence and uniqueness theorems for the nonlinear boundary value problem \[ (1)\quad x''=g(t,x),\quad 0\leq t\leq 1,\quad (2)\quad x(0)=x_ 0,\quad x(1)=x_ 1, \] where x, g(t,x) are n-dimensional column vectors. The authors are interested in solutions to the differential equation system (1) satisfying periodic-like boundary conditions of the form \[ (3)\quad x(0)=Qx(1),\quad x'(0)=Qx'(1) \] or \[ (4)\quad B_ 1x(0)-B_ 2x'(0)=0,\quad C_ 1x(1)+C_ 2x'(1)=0 \] and which also stay in a certain region \(\Omega\) in (t,x)-space. Here Q, \(B_ i\), \(C_ i\), \(i=1,2\), denote \(n\times n\) matrices with Q nonsingular and \(B_ 2\), \(C_ 2\) positive definite. Different conditions in terms of the Jacobian matrix \(g_ x(t,x)\) and an auxiliary positive definite symmetric matrix P(t) are given which yield the existence of at least one solution to the above boundary value problem (1), (3) or (1), (4).
