Existence of positive solutions of fourth-order problems with integral boundary conditions. (English) Zbl 1208.34016

Summary: We study the existence of positive solutions of the following fourth-order boundary value problem with integral boundary conditions
\[ u^{(4)}(t)=f(t,u(t),u''(t)),\quad t\in (0,1), \]
\[ u(0)=\int_0^1g(s)u(s)\,ds,\quad u(1)=0,\quad u''(0)=\int^1_0 h(s)u''(s)\,ds,\;u''(1)=0, \]
where \(f:[0,1]\times [0,+\infty)\times (-\infty,0]\to [0,+\infty)\) is continuous, \(g,h\in L^1[0,1]\) are nonnegative. The proof of our main result is based upon the Krein-Rutman theorem and global bifurcation techniques.
