    This paper deals with the existence of solutions to nonlinear boundary value problems \[ x''= f(t,x,x'),\quad t\in (0,T), \] where \(f: [0,T]\times \mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n\to \mathbb{R}^n\) is a continuous nonlinear function, and linear, homogeneous two-point boundary conditions. The ideas involve differential inequalities and fixed point methods.
