Singularly perturbed third-order boundary value problem for nonlinear systems (Q2381391)

The paper considers the boundary value problem \[ \varepsilon^2x'''=f(t,x,x',x''), \quad x(0)=A,\,\, P_1x'(0)-P_2x''(0)=B,\,\, Q_1x'(1)-Q_2x''(1)=C, \eqno{(1)} \] where the unknown \(x\) is an \(n\)-vector, \(f(t,u,v,w)\) is continuous and \(\varepsilon\) is a small positive parameter. The author considers this problem as a second order one into the variable \(u=x'\). To deal with the vector case, he assumes for each component of the problem in \(u\), existence of lower and upper solutions together with a Nagumo condition all of these being uniform in the other components. Then he obtains existence and asymptotic estimates of solutions to (1) exhibiting explicit lower and upper solutions.
