This paper is primarily concerned with the existence of solutions of the fourth-order self-adjoint differential equation(1)(where r(x) > 0, q(x) ≥ 0, p(x) ≥ 0 and all three coefficients are continuous on [a, ∞)) and one of the two-point boundary conditions:(2)or(3)the subscript notation for any solution y(x) denoting:(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.

SynopsisWe discuss smooth changes of eigenvalues under perturbation of the boundary value problems given in the title. The simple eigenvalue criterion is developed in the setting of Banach spaces, so very general perturbations of both the differential equation and the boundary conditions are allowed. Further, we need no assumptions about self-adjointness of the original or perturbed problems. The discussion is concluded with the application of the simple eigenvalue criterion to two examples.

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.
