Abstract
We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions of a nonlocal boundary value problem at resonance concerning a second order functional differential equation. The method is developed by inserting an exponential factor which depends on a suitable positive parameter λ. By this way a Green's kernel can be established and the problem is transformed into an operator equation u = Tλu. As it can be shown the well known Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem is no (positive) value of the parameter λ for which the condensing property ∥Tλu∥ ≤ ∥u∥, with ∥u∥ = ρ(> 0) is satisfied. To overcome this face we enlarge the space C[0, 1] and work in L1[0, 1] where, now, Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem is applicable. Compactness criteria in this space are, certainly, needed.
