摘要
In this paper, we study the existence of positive solutions of fourth-order boundary value problem u((4))(t) = f(t, u(t), u ''(t)), t is an element of (0, 1), u(0) = u(1) = u ''(0) = u ''(1) = 0. where f : [0, 1] x [0, infinity) x (-infinity, 0] -> [0, infinity) is continuous. The proof of our main result is based upon the Krein-Rutman theorem and the global bifurcation techniques. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
