Second-order functional problems with a resonance of dimension one (Q2815959)

From the author's abstract: We obtain solvability conditions, for all possible resonance scenarios, for a differential equation of the form NEWLINE\[NEWLINEu''=f(t,u,u')NEWLINE\]NEWLINE with linear functional conditions \(B_1(u)=0\) and \(B_2(u)=0\) such that the kernel of the linear map NEWLINE\[NEWLINEL:\{ u\in C^1[0,1]\, :\, B_1(u)=B_2(u)=0\}\to L_1[0,1],\quad Lu=u''NEWLINE\]NEWLINE has dimension 1. Our work generalizes and improves the results of \textit{Z. Zhao} and \textit{J. Liang} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 373, No. 2, 614--634 (2011; Zbl 1208.34020)] and \textit{Y. Cui} [Electron. J. Differ. Equ. 2012, Paper No. 45, 9 p. (2012; Zbl 1244.34020)]. We also construct an example of a nonlinear functional problem for a pendulum equation which not only satisfies the assumptions of an existence theorem but also has a closed form solution.
