%0 Journal Article %T Existence of solutions to second order ordinary differential equations having finite limits at +/- infinity %A Cezar Avramescu %A Cristian Vladimirescu %J Electronic Journal of Differential Equations %D 2004 %I Texas State University %X In this article, we study the boundary-value problem $$ ddot{x}=f(t,x,dot{x}), quad x(-infty )=x(+infty), quad dot{x}(-infty) = dot{x}(+infty ),. $$ Under adequate hypotheses and using the Bohnenblust-Karlin fixed point theorem for multivalued mappings, we establish the existence of solutions. %K Nonlinear boundary-value problem %K set-valued mappings %K boundary-value problems on infinite intervals %U http://ejde.math.txstate.edu/Volumes/2004/18/abstr.html
