We consider the problem of the existence of positive solutions u to the problem u ( n ) ( x ) = g ( u ( x ) ) , u ( 0 ) = u ' ( 0 ) = . . . = u ( n - 1 ) ( 0 ) = 0 (g ≥ 0,x > 0, n ≥ 2). It is known that if g is nondecreasing then the Osgood condition ∫ ₀ δ 1 / s [ s / g ( s ) ] 1 / n d s < ∞ is necessary and sufficient for the existence of nontrivial solutions to the above problem. We give a similar condition for other classes of functions g.
