General existence principles for nonlocal boundary value problems with φ-Laplacian and their applications by Ravi P. Agarwal, Donal O'Regan, Svatoslav Stanek

“…The paper presents general existence principles which can be used for a large class of nonlocal boundary value problems of the form (φ(x′))′=f1(t,x,x′)+f2(t,x,x′)F1x+f3(t,x,x′)F2x,α(x)=0, β(x)=0, where fj satisfy local Carathéodory conditions on some [0,T]×𝒟j⊂ℝ2, fj are either regular or have singularities in their phase variables (j=1,2,3), Fi:C1[0,T]→C0[0,T](i=1,2), and α,β:C1[0,T]→ℝ are continuous. The proofs are based on the Leray-Schauder degree theory and use regularization and sequential techniques. …”

On expansions for nonlinear systems Error estimates and convergence issues by Beauchard, Karine, Le Borgne, Jérémy, Marbach, Frédéric

“…Inspired by quantum mechanics, we introduce a new mixed expansion, designed to isolate the role of a time-invariant drift from the role of a time-varying perturbation.Second, in the context of nonlinear ordinary differential equations driven by regular vector fields, we give rigorous proofs of error estimates between the exact solution and finite approximations of the formal expansions. …”
