Positive solutions of systems of perturbed Hammerstein integral equations with arbitrary order dependence

Abstract

Motivated by the study of systems of higher order boundary value problems with functional boundary conditions, we discuss, by topological methods, the solvability of a fairly general class of systems of perturbed Hammerstein integral equations, where the nonlinearities and the functionals involved depend on some derivatives. We improve and complement earlier results in the literature. We also provide some examples in order to illustrate the applicability of the theoretical results.
