“…, n − 2. The study of multi-point boundary value problems for nonlinear second order ordinary differential equations was initiated by Il'in and Moiseev in [23], [24] who were motivated by the works of Bitsadze and Samarskiȋ on nonlocal linear elliptic boundary value problems, [2], [3], [4], and it has been the subject of many papers, see for example [5], [6], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [22], [25], [30] and [31]. More recently multipoint boundary value problems involving a p-Laplacian type operator or the more general operator −(ϕ(x ′ )) ′ have been studied in [1], [7], [8], [9], [10], [26], to mention just a few.…”
