The Blasius function in the complex plane.
We study a coincidence problem of the form A(x) ∈ ϕ (x), where A is a linear Fredholm operator with nonnegative index between Banach spaces and ϕ is a multivalued A-fundamentally contractible map (in particular, it is not necessarily compact). The main tool is a coincidence index, which becomes the well known Leray-Schauder fixed point index when A=id and ϕ is a compact singlevalued map. An application to boundary value problems for differential equations in Banach spaces is given.
This paper is concerned with periodic solutions of first-order nonlinear functional differential equations with deviating arguments. Some new sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions are obtained. The paper extends and improves some well-known results.
The existence of solutions is studied for certain nonlinear differential equations with both linear and nonlinear conditions
