We give sufficient conditions involving f, g and ω in order that systems of differential equations of the form y″ = f(x, y, y′), x in [0, 1] with fully nonlinear boundary conditions of the form g((y(0), y(1)), (y′(0), y′(1))) = 0 have solutions y with (x, y) in . We use Schauder degree theory in a novel space. Well known existence results for the Picard, the periodic and the Neumann boundary conditions follow as special cases of our results.
