Boundary value problems for functional differential equations (Q5917813)

The paper deals with existence results for boundary value problems for functional differential equations of the form \(x''(t)= f(t, x_t, x'(t))\) on \([0, T]\), \(a_0 x(0) a_1 x'(0)= g\), \(b_0 x(T)+ b_1 x'(T)= A\), where \(g\in C([- r, 0], \mathbb{R}^n)\) and \(A\in \mathbb{R}^n\). The proofs are based on the nonlinear alternative of Granas and a priori bounds techniques.
