Abstract

This paper is concerned with the existence of solutions to the class of nonlocal boundary value problems of the type

where is a smooth bounded domain of and is a positive continuous function. By assuming that is a Carathéodory function which growths at most , , and under a suitable growth condition on , one proves an existence result by applying the Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem.
