## Solvability for second-order three-point boundary value problems on a half-line.(English)Zbl 1123.34307

Summary: This work is concerned with the existence of a solution to the second-order three-point boundary value problem on the half-line $\begin{cases} x''(t)+f(t,x(t), x'(t))=0,\;0<t<+\infty,\\ x(0)=\alpha x(\eta),\;\lim_{t\to+\infty}x'(t)=0, \end{cases}$ where $$\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$$, $$\alpha\neq 1$$ and $$\eta\in(0,+\infty)$$ are given. After the discussion of the Green function for the corresponding homogeneous system on the half-line, we establish some criteria for the existence of solutions to the system discussed with suitable conditions imposed on $$f$$. The results are obtained by the Leray-Schauder continuation theorem.
