AbstractIn this article we consider the two-point boundary value problem\left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle u^{(4)}(t)=p(t)u(t)+h(t)\quad\text{for }%
a\leq t\leq b,\\
&\displaystyle u^{(i)}(a)=c_{1i},\quad u^{(i)}(b)=c_{2i}\quad(i=0,1),\end{%
aligned}\right.where {c_{1i},c_{2i}\in R}, {h,p\in L([a,b];R)}.
Here we study the question of dimension of the space of nonzero solutions and oscillatory behaviors of nonzero solutions on the interval {[a,b]} for the corresponding homogeneous problem, and establish efficient sufficient conditions of solvability for the nonhomogeneous problem.
