## Existence and uniqueness of monotone positive solutions for an elastic beam equation with nonlinear boundary conditions.(English)Zbl 1247.74035

Summary: We are concerned with the existence and uniqueness of monotone positive solutions for an elastic beam equation with nonlinear boundary conditions. The proof of our main results is based upon a new fixed point theorem of generalized concave operators.
