In this paper, we use the fixed point index to study the existence of positive solutions for the fourth-order Riemann–Stieltjes integral boundary value problem −x4t=ft,xt,x′t,x″t,x″′t, t∈0,1x0=x′0=x″′1=0,x″0=αx″t, where f: 0,1×ℝ+×ℝ+×ℝ+×ℝ+⟶ℝ+ is a continuous function and αx″ denotes a linear function. Two existence theorems are obtained with some appropriate inequality conditions on the nonlinearity f, which involve the spectral radius of related linear operators. These conditions allow ft,z1,z2,z3,z4 to have superlinear or sublinear growth in zi,  i=1,2,3,4.

In this paper, we study four-point boundary value problems for a fourth-order ordinary differential equation of the form [Formula: see text] with one of the following boundary conditions: [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] Growth conditions on f which guarantee existence of at least three positive solutions for the problems (E)–(B1) and (E)–(B2) are imposed.
