Abstract

In this article, we study the differential equation (-1)n-p x(n) (t) = ƒ(t, x(t), x'(t),..., x(n-1) (t)), 0 < t < 1, subject to the multi-point boundary conditions x(i) (0) = 0 for i = 0, 1,..., p - 1, x(i) (1) = 0 for i = p + 1, ..., n - 1, ∑mi=1 αix(p) (ξi) = 0, where 1 ≤ p ≤ n - 1. We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one solution at resonance and another at non-resonance. The emphasis in this paper is that ƒ depends on all higher-order derivatives. Examples are given to illustrate the main results of this article.
