In loving memory of my beloved miniature dachshund Maddie (16 March 2002 – 16 March 2020). We consider nonlocal differential equations with convolution coefficients of the form
\[{-}M\Big(\big(a*(g\circ |u|)\big)(1)\Big)u''(t)=\lambda f\big(t,u(t)\big),\quad t\in(0,1), \]in the case in which $g$
can satisfy very generalized growth conditions; in addition, $M$
is allowed to be both sign-changing and vanishing. Existence of at least one positive solution to this equation equipped with boundary data is considered. We demonstrate that the nonlocal coefficient $M$
allows the forcing term $f$
to be free of almost all assumptions other than continuity.

We consider nonlocal equations of the general form
By developing a Green's function representation for the solution of the boundary value problem we study existence, uniqueness, and qualitative properties (e.g., positivity or monotonicity) of solutions to these problems. We apply our methods to fractional order differential equations. We also demonstrate an application of our methodology both to convolution equations with nonlocal boundary conditions as well as those with a nonlocal term in the convolution equation itself.
\begin{equation} \left(a*u''\right)(\cdot)+\lambda f\big(\cdot,u(\cdot)\big)=0.\nonumber \end{equation}
