Singularly perturbed nonlinear boundary value problem for a kind of Volterra type functional differential equation

Abstract

By employing the theory of differential inequality and some analysis methods, a nonlinear boundary value problem subject to a general kind of second-order Volterra functional differential equation was considered first. Then, by constructing the right-side layer function and the outer solution, a nonlinear boundary value problem subject to a kind of second-order Volterra functional differential equation with a small parameter was studied further. By using the differential mean value theorem and the technique of upper and lower solution, a new result on the existence of the solutions to the boundary value problem is obtained, and a uniformly valid asymptotic expansions of the solution is given as well.
