On a third-order three-point boundary value problem at resonance (Q755959)

The problems \(\mp (u'''+\pi^ 2u')+g(x,u,u',u'')=e(x)\), \(u'(0)=u'(1)=u(\eta)=0\), \(0\leq \eta \leq 1\) are reduced to \(\mp (y''+\pi^ 2y)+g(x,\int^{x}_{\eta}y(t)dt,y(x),y'(x))=e(x)\), \(y(0)=y(1)=0\), \(u(x)=\int^{x}_{\eta}y(t)dt\) and then, under some assumptions, solved by the Mawhin continuation theorem. The existence, uniqueness theorems and theorems on the difference of two solutions are proved.
