Abstract

We study the solvability of the equation x=f(t,x,x) subject to Dirichlet, Neumann, periodic, and antiperiodic boundary conditions. Under the assumption that f can be suitably decomposed, we prove approximation solvability results for the above equation by applying the abstract continuation type theorem of Petryshyn on A-proper mappings.
