Measure of noncompactness and second order differential equations with deviating argument. (English) Zbl 0885.34056

The topological transversality theorem for condensing mappings is applied to the boundary value problem with deviating argument \[ u''(t)= f(t, u(t),u'(t), u(g_1(t)),\dots, u(g_m(t))),\tag{1} \] \(t\in I= [a,b]\), \(u(t)= \varphi(t)\), \(t\in[a_1,b_1]- (a, b)\), in a real Banach space \(X\) in order to obtain the existence of a solution to (1). A uniqueness result is given.
