We investigate the existence of solutions and positive solutions for a nonlinear fourth-order differential equation with integral boundary conditions of the formx(4)(t)=f(t,x(t),x′(t),x′′(t),x′′′(t)),t∈[0,1],x(0)=x′(1)=0,x′′(0)=∫01h(s,x(s),x′(s),x′′(s))ds,x′′′(1)=0, wheref∈C([0,1]×ℝ4),h∈C([0,1]×ℝ3). By using a fixed point theorem due to D. O'Regan, the existence of solutions and positive solutions for the previous boundary value problems is obtained. Meanwhile, as applications, some examples are given to illustrate our results.

An iterative algorithm is proposed for solving the solution of a nonlinear fourth-order differential equation with integral boundary conditions. Its approximate solutionun(x)is represented in the reproducing kernel space. It is proved thatun(x)converges uniformly to the exact solutionu(x). Moreover, the derivatives ofun(x)are also convergent to the derivatives ofu(x). Numerical results show that the method employed in the paper is valid.

We study the existence of positive solution for the eigenvalue problem of semipositone fractional order differential equation with multipoint boundary conditions by using known Krasnosel'skii's fixed point theorem. Some sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of at least one positive solution for eigenvalues  λ>0sufficiently small andλ>0sufficiently large are established.

SynopsisConjugate points are defined in terms of solutions of a linear fourth-order differential equation satisfying two homogeneous boundary conditions at x = α and either u(β) = u′(β) = 0 or u′(γ) = u″(γ) = 0. The smallest β > α and γ > α such that these boundary conditions are satisfied by a non-trivial solution of the equation are denoted by η(α) and ῆ-(α), respectively. Upper bounds are established for min [η(α), ῆ(α)] relative to the conjugate points of a self-adjoint differential equation which is majorised by the more general equation under study.

SynopsisIt is shown that the equation (p2y”)”–(p1y’)’+ p0y = 0 has exactly two linearly independent solutions on [0,∞) with finite Dirichlet integral when the coefficients are nonnegative and p2 satisfies a condition which includes all nondecreasing functions. An inequality for the Dirichlet form is derived and used to extend characterizations of the domains of certain self-adjoint operations associated with the differential expression to arbitrary symmetric boundary conditions at 0.

In this paper we identify a relation between the coefficients that represents a critical case for general fourth-order equations. We obtained the forms of solutions under this critical case.
