In this paper, we shall establish unilateral global bifurcation result for a class of fourthorder eigenvalue problems with sign-changing weight. Under some natural hypotheses on perturbation function, we show that lk;0 is a bifurcation point of the above problems and there are two distinct unbounded continua, Ck þ and Ck , consisting of the bifurcation branch Ck from lk;0 , wher e lk is the kth...
