In this paper, we use the fixed point index to study the existence of positive solutions for the fourth-order Riemann–Stieltjes integral boundary value problem −x4t=ft,xt,x′t,x″t,x″′t, t∈0,1x0=x′0=x″′1=0,x″0=αx″t, where f: 0,1×ℝ+×ℝ+×ℝ+×ℝ+⟶ℝ+ is a continuous function and αx″ denotes a linear function. Two existence theorems are obtained with some appropriate inequality conditions on the nonlinearity f, which involve the spectral radius of related linear operators. These conditions allow ft,z1,z2,z3,z4 to have superlinear or sublinear growth in zi,  i=1,2,3,4.

Abstract In this paper, the existence of positive solutions for a nonlinear fourth-order two-point boundary value problem with integral condition is investigated. By using Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem on cones, sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one positive solutions are obtained.

We consider fourth-order boundary value problemsu′′′′(t)=λh(t)f(u(t)),  0<t<1,  u(0)=∫01‍u(s)dα(s),  u′(0)=u(1)=u′(1)=0, where∫01‍u(s)dα(s)is a Stieltjes integral withα(t)being nondecreasing andα(t)being not a constant on[0,1];h(t)may be singular att=0andt=1,h∈C((0,1),[0,∞))withh(t)≢0on any subinterval of(0,1);f∈C([0,∞),[0,∞))andf(s)>0for alls>0, andf0=∞,  f∞=0,  f0=lims→0+f(s)/s,  f∞=lims→+∞f(s)/s.We investigate the global structure of positive solutions by using global bifurcation techniques.

In this paper, we consider the existence of positive solutions for the fully fourth-order boundary value problem u 4 t = f t , u t , u ′ t , u ″ t , u ‴ t ,   0 ≤ t ≤ 1 , u 0 = u 1 = u ″ 0 = u ″ 1 = 0 , where f : 0,1 × 0 , + ∞ × − ∞ , + ∞ × − ∞ , 0 × − ∞ , + ∞ ⟶ 0 , + ∞ is continuous. This equation can simulate the deformation of an elastic beam simply supported at both ends in a balanced state. By using the fixed-point index theory and the cone theory, we discuss the existence of positive solutions of the fully fourth-order boundary value problem. We transform the fourth-order differential equation into a second-order differential equation by order reduction method. And then, we examine the spectral radius of linear operators and the equivalent norm on continuous space. After that, we obtain the existence of positive solutions of such BVP.
