Existence of positive solutions for a multi-point four-order boundary-value problem

Le Xuan Truong, Phan Dinh Phung

Abstract:
The article shows sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions to a multi-point boundary-value problem for a fourth-order differential equation. Our main tools are the Guo-Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem and the monotone iterative technique. We also show that the set of positive solutions is compact.
