The corner solution for a quasilinear differential equation with two parameters (Q1369432)

Consider the singularly perturbed scalar differential equation \[ \varepsilon y''+\mu f(x,y)y'+ g(x,y)=0,\quad a<x<b,\tag{\(*\)} \] where \(\varepsilon\) and \(\mu\) are positive small parameters, \(f\), \(g\) and \(g_y\) are continuous in some region \(D\). It is assumed that the degenerate equation \(g(x,y)= 0\) has a piecewise smooth solution \(y=y_0(x)\) which is not differentiable at \(x=x_0\in(a, b)\). Under the assumptions that \(D_0\) is some neighborhood of the curve \(y= y_0(x)\) such that \(g_y\) satisfies \(|g_y(x,y)|\leq-m\) \(\forall(x,y)\in D_0\), the author studies for \((*)\) the Dirichlet problem \(y(a)= A\), \(y(b)=B\) and the Robin problem \(y(a)- p_1y'(a)= A\), \(y(b)+ p_2y'(b)= B\). By means of the technique of differential inequalities he proves the existence of a solution of the boundary value problems.
