Zhang, Xuemei; Ge, Weigao Positive solutions for a class of boundary-value problems with integral boundary conditions. (English) Zbl 1189.34035 Comput. Math. Appl. 58, No. 2, 203-215 (2009). Summary: This paper investigates the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of nonlinear boundary-value problems of fourth-order differential equations with integral boundary conditions. The arguments are based upon a specially constructed cone and the fixed-point theory in cone. The nonexistence of positive solutions is also studied.
