Fourth order boundary value problems arise in the study of the equilibrium of an elastaic beam under an external load. The author earlier investigated the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the nonlinear analogues of fourth order boundary value problems that arise in the equilibrium of an elastic beam depending on how the ends of the beam are supported. This paper concerns the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the fourth order boundary value problems with periodic boundary conditions.

Abstract We examine the existence and uniqueness of solutions to two-point boundary value problems involving fourth-order, ordinary differential equations. Such problems have interesting applications to modelling the deflections of beams. We sharpen traditional results by showing that a larger class of problems admit a unique solution. We achieve this by drawing on fixed-point theory in an interesting and alternative way via an application of Rus’s contraction mapping theorem. The idea is to utilize two metrics on a metric space, where one pair is complete. Our theoretical results are applied to the area of elastic beam deflections when the beam is subjected to a loading force and the ends of the beam are either both clamped or one end is clamped and the other end is free. The existence and uniqueness of solutions to the models are guaranteed for certain classes of linear and nonlinear loading forces.

Letf:[0,1]×R4→Rbe a function satisfying Caratheodory's conditions ande(x)∈L1[0,1]. This paper is concerned with the solvability of the fourth-order fully quasilinear boundary value problemd4udx4+f(x,u(x),u′(x),u″(x),u‴(x))=e(x),   0<x<1, withu(0)−u(1)=u′(0)−u′(1)=u″(0)-u″(1)=u‴(0)-u‴(1)=0. This problem was studied earlier by the author in the special case whenfwas of the formf(x,u(x)), i.e., independent ofu′(x),u″(x),u‴(x). It turns out that the earlier methods do not apply in this general case. The conditions need to be related to both of the linear eigenvalue problemsd4udx4=λ4uandd4udx4=−λ2d2udx2with periodic boundary conditions.

The Wavelet solution for boundary-value problems is relatively new and has been mainly restricted to the solutions in data compression, image processing and recently to the solution of differential equations with periodic boundary conditions. This paper is concerned with the wavelet-based Galerkin’s solution to time dependent higher order non-linear two-point initial-boundary-value problems with non-periodic boundary conditions. The wavelet method can offer several advantages in solving the initial-boundary-value problems than the traditional methods such as Fourier series, Finite Differences and Finite Elements by reducing the computational time near singularities because of its multi-resolution character. In order to demonstrate the wavelet, we extend our prior research of solution to parabolic equations and problems with non-linear boundary conditions to non-linear problems involving KdV Equation and Boussinesq Equation. The results of the wavelet solutions are examined and they are found to compare favorably to the known solution. This paper on the whole indicates that the wavelet technique is a strong contender for solving partial differential equations with non-periodic conditions.
