Let \(\lambda_1\) be the first eigenvalue of the problem NEWLINE\[NEWLINEu'=\lambda u,\quad 0< x< 1,\quad u(0)= u'(0)= u(1)= u'(1)= 0.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE The author studies the boundary value problem NEWLINE\[NEWLINEu'= f(x,u),\quad 0< x< 1,\quad u(0)= \alpha,\;u'(0)=\beta,\;u(1)=\gamma,\;-u'(1)= \delta,\tag{1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta\geq 0\), \(f\in (\langle 0,1\rangle\times \mathbb{R}^1_+,\mathbb{R}^1_+)\) is continuous and the following conditions are given NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\liminf_{u\to+\infty} \min_{x\in\langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}> \lambda_1,\;\limsup_{u\to 0+} \max_{x\in\langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u+\xi(x))\over u}< \lambda_1,\tag{2}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\limsup_{u\to+\infty} \max_{x\in\langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}< \lambda_1,\;\liminf_{u\to 0+} \min_{x\in\langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}> \lambda_1,\tag{3}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\sup_{u> 0} \min_{x\in \langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}= +\infty,\;\inf_{u\geq 2\|\xi\|} \max_{x\in \langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}= 0.\tag{4}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE Here, the proofs of the following results are given:NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE(A) If (3) is satisfied, then (1) has at least one positive solution.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINE(B) Let (2) be satisfied. If \(\xi(x)\equiv 0\), \(x\in\langle 0,1\rangle\), then (1) has at least one positive solution.
