Fredholm property for a parameter dependent second order operator differential equation.
We introduce the notion of uniform quietness at zero for a real-valued function and we study one-parameter nonlocal boundary value problems for second order differential equations involving such functions. By using the Krasnosel'skiĭ fixed point theorem in a cone, we give values of the parameter for which the problems have at least two positive solutions.
We formulate nonuniform nonresonance criteria for certain third order differential systems of the form , which further improves upon our recent results in [12], given under sharp nonresonance considerations. The work also provides extensions and generalisations to the results of Ezeilo and Omari [5], and Minhós [9] from the scalar to the vector situations.
