Abstract: We shall provide conditions on the function $f(t,u_{1},\cdots , u_{n-1})$. The higher order boundary value problem

\begin{equation*}\begin{cases}(E)~~ u^{(n)}(t)+ f(t, u(t),u^{(1)}(t),\cdots ,u^{(n-2)}(t))=0~~~~~\hbox {~for~}~~~~~t\in (0,1)~~~~\hbox {and}~~~~~~n\ge 2, (BC)~~ \begin{cases}u^{(i)}(0)=0,~~~~~0\le i \le n-3, \alpha u^{(n-2)}(0)-\beta u^{(n-1)}(0)=0, \gamma u^{(n-2)}(1)+\delta u^{(n-1)}(1)=0\end{cases} \end{cases} \tag{{BVP}}\end{equation*}

has at least one solution.
