A fourth-order boundary value problem for a Sturm-Liouville type equation

An existence result of multiple solutions for a fourth-order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem with variable parameters is established. As a consequence, three solutions for a boundary value problem with a fourth-order equation in a complete form are obtained. Our approach is based on variational methods.     

Multiple solutions for fourth-order boundary value problem

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of nontrivial solutions for the fourth-order two point boundary value problems. Making use of the theory of fixed point index in cone and Leray-Schauder degree, under general conditions on nonlinearity, we prove that there exist at least six different nontrivial solutions for the fourth-order two point boundary value problems. Furthermore, if the nonlinearity is odd, we obtain that there exist at least eight different nontrivial solutions.

In this paper, for the fourth-order boundary value problem (BVP) ,0<t<1,u(0)=u(1)=u^″(0)=u^″(1)=0, where f:[0,1]×R→R is continuous, η≤0 is a parameter, the existence of infinitely many mountain pass solutions are obtained with the variational methods and critical point theory. We prove the conclusion by combining sub-sup solution method, Mountain pass theorem in order intervals, Leray-Schauder degree theory and Morse theory.

A compact difference scheme for fourth-order fractional sub-diffusion equations with Neumann boundary conditions

In this paper, a compact finite difference scheme with global convergence order $O(\tau^{2}+h^4)$ is derived for fourth-order fractional sub-diffusion equations subject to Neumann boundary conditions.

Theoretical results are supported by numerical experiments.     

Sign-changing solutions on a kind of fourth-order Neumann boundary value problem

In this paper, we consider the fourth-order Neumann boundary value problem u(4)(t)−2u^″(t)+u(t)=f(t,u(t)) for all t∈[0,1] and subject to u^′(0)=u^′(1)=u^?(0)=u^?(1)=0. Using the fixed point index and the critical group, we establish the existence theorem of solutions that guarantees the problem has at least one positive solution and two sign-changing solutions under certain conditions.
