First order differential systems with a nonlinear boundary condition via the method of solution-regions (Q2126750)

The authors study the following system of differential equations with nonlinear boundary conditions: \begin{align*} &u^{\prime}(t)=f(t, u(t)) \quad \text { for a.e. } t \in I:=[0, T], \\ &L(u(0), u(T), u)=0, \end{align*} where \(f:[0, T] \times \mathbb{R}^{n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}\) is a Carathéodory function and \(L: \mathbb{R}^{2 n} \times C\left(I, \mathbb{R}^{n}\right) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}\) is continuous. They use the concept of solution-region introduced by \textit{M. Frigon} [Adv. Nonlinear Stud. 18, No. 3, 469--485 (2018; Zbl 1403.34023)] for initial and periodic boundary conditions, and was extended by \textit{F. A. F. Tojo} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 472, No. 2, 1803--1819 (2019; Zbl 1419.34095)] for more general linear boundary conditions. The authors extend the known theory of solution-regions to include nonlinear boundary conditions and recover some known results for the linear case. So, they redefine the concept of solution-region for the case of a weak admissible region and nonlinear boundary conditions. Under this new definition they ensure the existence of solutions lying at the solution-region of the considered problem.
