Solvability of a fourth order boundary value problem with periodic boundary conditions

Solvability of a Fourth-Order Boundary Value Problem with Integral Boundary Conditions

It is well known that fourth-order boundary value problems (BVPs) arise in a variety of different areas of the flexibility mechanics and engineering physics and thus have been extensively studied; for instance, see [1–29] and references therein. Boundary value problems with integral boundary conditions appear in heat conduction, thermoelasticity, chemical engineering underground water flow, and...

Existence of positive solutions for fourth-order boundary value problems with three- point boundary conditions

In this work, by employing the Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem, we study the existence of positive solutions of a three-point boundary value problem for the following fourth-order differential equation begin{eqnarray*} left { begin{array}{ll} u^{(4)}(t) -f(t,u(t),u^{prime prime }(t))=0 hspace{1cm} 0 leq t leq 1, & u(0) = u(1)=0, hspace{1cm} alpha u^{prime prime }(0) - beta u^{prime prime pri...

On the solvability of a boundary value problem for a fourth-order ordinary differential equation

We study the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial periodic solutions for a semilinear fourth-order ordinary differential equation arising in the study of spatial patterns for bistable systems. Variational tools such as the Brezis–Nirenberg theorem and Clark theorem are used in the proofs of the main results. © 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. MSC: 34B15; 34C25; 35K35
