Boundary value problems for differential equations in Hilbert spaces involving reflection of the argument (Q1111749)

Under the monotonicity type conditions, by using Leray-Schauder degree argument, some natural results concerning the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the equation \(-x''(t)+\alpha x'(t)+f(t,x(t),x(-t))=e(t)\) satisfying the boundary value condition \(x(-1)=x(1)=0\) (resp. \(x(- 1)=hx'(-1)\), \(x(1)=-hx'(1))\) are given. Here f: [-1,1]\(\times H\times H\to H\) is completely continuous, H is a Hilbert space, \(e\in L^ 1([- 1,1],H)\) and h,k\(\geq 0\), \(h+k>0:\) This paper generalizes a paper of the author [Nonlinear Analysis and Appl., Proc. 7th Int.
