Summary: Consider the boundary value problem consisting of the equation
\[ u''+f(t,u)=0,\quad t\in (0,1), \]
and the boundary condition
\[ u(0)=\sum^m_{i=1} a_iu(t_i),\quad u(1)=\sum^m_{i=1} b_iu(t_i), \]
where \(m\geq 1\) is an integer, \(t_i\in(0,1)\), and \(a_i,b_i\in [0,\infty)\) for \(i=1,\dots,m\), and \(f:(0,1)\times\mathbb R\to\mathbb R\) is continuous and nondecreasing in \(x\).
We prove several existence results which extend some known work in the literature.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1130.68011].
