Title: Existence of solutions for nonlinear second-order two-point boundary-value problems Author: Rui-Juan Du (Gansu Political Science and Law Inst., China) Abstract: We consider the existence of solutions for the nonlinear second-order two-point ordinary differential equations $$\displaylines{ u''(t)+\lambda u(t)+g(u(t))=h(t),\quad t\in[0,1] \cr u(0)=u(1)=0, \quad\hbox{or} \quad u'(0)=u'(1)=0 }$$ where $g:\mathbb{R}\to \mathbb{R}$ is continuous, and $h\in L^1(0,1)$.
