Abstract

This paper is concerned with the fourth-order four-point boundary value problem {u^(^4^)(t)+f(t,u,u^'')=0,t@?[0,1]=I,u(0)=0,u(1)=au(@h),u^''(0)=0,u^''(1)=bu(@x), where @h,@x@?(0,1) and a,b=0. The upper and lower solution method and a new maximum principle are employed to establish existence results and we release the increasing condition imposed on f(t,u,v).
