Existence results for the problem $$(\varphi(u'))'= f(t,u,u')$$ with nonlinear boundary conditions. (English) Zbl 0920.34029
The authors prove an existence result for problems of the form $(\phi(u'))'= f(t,u,u')\text{ a.e. }t\in [a,b],\;g(u(a), u'(a), u'(b))= 0,\;h(u(a))= u(b),$ where $$\phi$$ is continuous and increasing from $$\mathbb{R}$$ onto $$\mathbb{R}$$. The main tools are the method of lower and upper solutions, the Nagumo condition and the Schauder fixed point theorem.
