Abstract

This paper is concerned with the fourth-order ordinary differential equationu(4) (t) = f (t, u (t), u (t)), 0 < t < 1with the four-point boundary conditionsu (0) = u (1) = 0, au1) - bu1) = 0, cu2) + du2) = 0,where ξi ∈ [0, 1](i = 1, 2) and a, b, c, d are nonnegative constants satisfying ad + bc + ac (ξ2 - ξ1) > 0. Some new existence results are obtained by developing the upper and lower solution method and the monotone iterative technique.
