Singularly perturbed nonlinear boundary value problem for a kind of Volterra type functional differential equation (Q1890341)

By using the upper and lower solutions method, the author proves the existence of solutions for the following singularly perburbed boundary value problem \[ \epsilon x''(t)=f\left(t,x(t),x_t,\psi(t)+\int_0^t k(t,s)x(s)ds,x'(t),\epsilon\right), \,\,\, t\in (0,1), \] \[ x(t)=\phi(t,\epsilon), \,\,\, t\in [-r,0], \quad \Phi(x(1),x'(1),\epsilon)=A(\epsilon), \] with \(\epsilon>0,\) \(f\in C([0,1]\times {\mathbb R}\times C([-r,0],{\mathbb R})\times {\mathbb R}\times {\mathbb R}\times{\mathbb R}^+,{\mathbb R}),\) \(\Phi\in C({\mathbb R}\times {\mathbb R}\times{\mathbb R}^+,{\mathbb R}),\) \(\psi:[0,1]\to {\mathbb R})\times{\mathbb R}^+,\) \(k\in C([0,1]\times [0,1],{\mathbb R}^{+})\) and \(\phi\in C([-r,0],{\mathbb R}).\)
