NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF SECOND ORDER IN A HILBERT SPACE

Let H be a Hilbert space. Assume that $0{\leq}{\alpha}$, ${\beta}{\leq}1$ and r(t) > 0 in I = [0, T]. By means of the fixed point theorem of Leray-Schauder type the existence principles of solutions for two point boundary value problems of the form $\array{(r(t)x^{\prime}(t))^{\prime}+f(t,x(t),r(t)x^{\prime}(t))=0,\;t{\in}I\\x(0)=x(T)=0}$ are established where f satisfies for positive constants a, b and c ${\mid}{f(t,x,y){\mid}{\leq}a{\mid}x{\mid}^{\alpha}+b{\mid}y{\mid}^{\beta}+c\;\;for\;all(t,x,y){\in}I{\times}H{\times}H$.
