Quadratic approximation of solutions for differential equations with nonlinear boundary condi\-tions (Q1767874)

Consider the boundary value problem \[ x'=f(t,x)\quad\text{for} \quad t\in J:=[0,T],\;T>0,\quad 0=g\bigl(x(0),x(T)\bigr),\tag{*} \] with \(f\in C(J\times \mathbb R,\mathbb R)\) and \(g\in C(\mathbb R\times \mathbb R,\mathbb R)\). The author applies the method of lower and upper solutions coupled with monotone iterative technique. He gives sufficient conditions on the functions \(f\) and \(g\) (monotonicity and convexity properties) implying the existence of monotone sequences converging quadratically to the unique solution of (*).
