Abstract

This paper investigates the existence and multiplicity of symmetric positive solutions for a class of p-Laplacian fourth-order differential equations with integral boundary conditions. The arguments are based upon a specially constructed cone and the fixed point theory for cones. The nonexistence of a positive solution is also studied.
