An application of the Leray-Schauder degree theory to boundary value problems of third and fourth order differential equations depending on a parameter. (English) Zbl 0858.34020

Sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the boundary value problem (1) \(x'''=f(t,x,x',x'',\lambda)\), (2) \(x(0)=x(1)=0\), \(x'(0)-x'(1)=0\), \(x''(0)-x''(1)=0\) are established. The proof of the existence theorem is based on the Leray-Schauder degree theory. The results are applied to fourth-order one-parameter functional differential equations using the quasilinearization technique and the Schauder fixed point theorem.
