The article deals with the boundary value problem for the delay nonlinear differential equation \[ y''(x)=f(x,y(x),y(x-\tau_0(x)), y'(x), y'(x-\tau_1(x)), y''(x-\tau_2(x))),\quad x\in[a,b], \] under the condition \(y^{(p)}(x)=\varphi^{(p)}(x),p=0,1,2,x\in[a^*,a],y(b)=\gamma,\) where \(f(x,u,u_1,v,v_1,w)\) is a continuous function that satisfies the Lipshitz condition, \(\tau_0(x),\tau_1(x),\tau_2(x)\) are continuous nonnegative functions \(\varphi(x)\in C^2([a^*,a])\) with \(a^*=min\{\min_{x\in[a,b]}(x-\tau_0(x)),\) \(\min_{x\in[a,b]}(x-\tau_1(x)),\min_{x\in[a,b]}(x-\tau_2(x))\}.\) The author proves theorems on the existence of a solution to the problem by the principle of contracting mappings. The algorithm of constructing approximate solutions is developed by the method of spline functions.
