Solvability of nonlocal boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations of higher order (Q1879683): Difference between revisions

Applying the coincidence degree arguments due to J. Mawhin, the authors prove the existence of solutions of the equation \[ x^{(n)}= f(t, x,x',\dots, x^{(n-1)})+ e(t),\quad t\in (0,1), \] satisfying the nonlocal boundary conditions \[ x^{(i)}(0)= 0,\quad i= 1,\dots, n-1,\quad x(1)= \int^1_0 x(s)\,dg(s). \] Sufficient conditions are obtained in terms of \(e\), \(f\), \(g\). In one of two main theorems the degree of the representing operator can be greater than 1.
