No label defined (Q4798539)

The following initial value problem is considered: \[ x''= f(t,x,x', Tx,Sx),\;t\in J,x(0)= x_0,\;x'(0)=x_1, \] where: \(J=[0,a]\), \(a>0\), \(x_0,x_1\in E\), \((E,\|\cdot \|)\) is a real Banach space, \(f\in C[J \times E\times E\times E\times E,E]\), \(T,S\) are integral operators, \[ (Tx)(t)= \int^t_0 k(t,s)x(s)ds, \quad (Sx)(t)=\int^a_0 h(t,s)x(s)ds, \] in which \(k\in C(D, \mathbb{R}^1)\), \(h\in C[J\times J,\mathbb{R}^1]\) \(D=\{(t,s)\in J\times J:s\leq t\}\), \(\mathbb{R}^1= (-\infty,+ \infty)\). The main result of this paper is an existence theorem of global solutions for this initial value problem. As applications of this theorem, the existence of global solutions of two classes of fourth order mixed boundary value problems are obtained.
