Abstract

We establish a generalization of the Cesari-Kannan existence result for problems of the type Lx = N(x), xX where X is a separable Hilbert functional space, L is a selfadjoint linear differential operator with nontrivial finite dimensional kernel and N:XX is a bounded continuous nonlinear operator. This generalization leads to new results when the dimension of the kernel of L is greater than one. Applications to systems of second order ordinary differential equations are given.
