Abstract
In this article, multi-point boundary value systems with impulsive effects are considered. Existence of at least one classical solution is investigated. The basis of the approach is an application of certain variational methods for smooth functionals, which are defined on reflexive Banach spaces. Examples are provided in order to illustrate how the presented results can be applied.
