The boundary value problem \[ x'= A(t)x+ f(t,x^t),\quad 0\leq t\leq T,\tag{1} \] \[ C(t) x(t)+ D(t) x(T- t)= 0,\quad -r\leq t\leq 0,\tag{2} \] is considered. Here, \(T\) and \(r\) are positive constant, \(x^t(\theta)= x(t+ \theta)\) for \(\theta\in [-r,r]\), \(A\in C^0([0,T]; \mathbb{R}^{n\times n})\), \(C,D\in C^0([- r,0]; \mathbb{R}^{n\times n})\) and \(f\in C^0([0,T]\times C^*_r; \mathbb{R}^n)\) with \(C^*_r= C^0([- r,r]; \mathbb{R}^n)\). The author gives conditions for the existence of a solution to problem (1), (2). Two example illustrate the application of the existence theorem.
