In this paper, existence results for both integro-differential and functional differential equations are discussed using topological transversality arguments. As applications, third and fourth order boundary value problems are considered. For third order problems, an example has been cited to show that our results cover a wider class of problems than Theorem 2.3 of D.J. O'Regan, Topological transversality: Applications to third order boundary value problems, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 18 (1987) 630–641.
