Second order boundary value problems with sign-changing nonlinearities and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions

John R. Graef, Lingju Kong, Qingkai Kong, Bo Yang (2011)

The authors consider the boundary value problem with a two-parameter nonhomogeneous multi-point boundary condition u ' ' + g ( t ) f ( t , u ) = 0 , t ( 0 , 1 ) , u ( 0 ) = α u ( ξ ) + λ , u ( 1 ) = β u ( η ) + μ .

Solutions of a multi-point boundary value problem for higher-order differential equations at resonance. (II)

Yuji Liu, Weigao Ge (2005)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of solutions of the following multi-point boundary value problem consisting of the higher-order differential equation x ( n ) ( t ) = f ( t , x ( t ) , x ' ( t ) , , x ( n - 1 ) ( t ) ) + e ( t ) , 0 < t < 1 , ( * ) and the following multi-point boundary value conditions 1 * - 1 x ( i ) ( 0 ) = 0 f o r i = 0 , 1 , , n - 3 , x ( n - 1 ) ( 0 ) = α x ( n - 1 ) ( ξ ) , x ( n - 2 ) ( 1 ) = i = 1 m β i x ( n - 2 ) ( η i ) . * * Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one solution of the BVP ( * ) and ( * * ) at resonance are established. The results obtained generalize and complement those in [13, 14]. This paper is directly motivated by Liu and Yu [J. Pure Appl. Math. 33 (4)(2002), 475–494...
