Title: Solutions to fourth-order random differential equations with periodic boundary conditions Authors: Xiaoling Han (Northwest Normal Univ., Lanzhou, China) Xuan Ma (Northwest Normal Univ., Lanzhou, China) Guowei Dai (Northwest Normal Univ., Lanzhou, China) Abstract: Existence of solutions and of extremal random solutions are proved for periodic boundary-value problems of fourth-order ordinary random differential equations. Our investigation is done in the space of continuous real-valued functions defined on closed and bounded intervals. Also we study the applications of the random version of a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type and an algebraic random fixed point theorem by Dhage. Submitted October 17, 2012.
