Solutions to third-order multi-point boundary-value problems at resonance with three dimensional kernels

Shuang Li, Jian Yin, Zengji Du

Abstract:
In this article, we consider the boundary-value problem
$$\displaylines{ x'''(t)=f(t, x(t), x'(t),x''(t)), \quad t\in (0,1),\cr x''(0)=\sum_{i=1}^{m}\alpha_i x''(\xi_i), \quad x'(0)=\sum_{k=1}^{l}\gamma_k x'(\sigma_{k}),\quad x(1)=\sum_{j=1}^{n}\beta_jx(\eta_j), }$$
where $f: [0, 1]\times \mathbb{R}^3\to \mathbb{R}$ is a Caratheodory function, and the kernel to the linear operator has dimension three. Under some resonance conditions, by using the coincidence degree theorem, we show the existence of solutions. An example is given to illustrate our results.
