Solvability of multi-point boundary value problem at resonance. III. (Q1855689)

The nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equation \[ x''=f(t, x(t), x'(t)) + e(t)\,, \quad t\in (0,1), \] subject multipoint boundary conditions of four types is considered. The purpose of the paper is to study the resonant cases. Under certain growth conditions on the continuous nonlinear function \(f:[0,1]\times \mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R\), existence results are established. The main tool is the coincidence degree theory of Mawhin see, e.g., \textit{J. Mawhin} [Topological degree and boundary value problems for nonlinear differential equations. Berlin: Springer-Verlag.
