Monotone iterative technique and symmetric positive solutions for a fourth-order boundary value problem. (English) Zbl 1206.65188
The authors investigate the existence of symmetric positive solutions for a class of fourth-order boundary value problems of the first kind. Using a monotone iterative technique, they prove that the boundary value problem has symmetric positive solutions under certain conditions. Moreover, these solutions are obtained by the iteration procedure.
