Existence and uniqueness of solutions for fourth-order boundary-value problems in Banach spaces

Yujun Cui, Yumei Zou

Abstract:
This article concerns the fourth-order boundary-value problem
$$\displaylines{ x^{(4)}(t)=f(t,x(t),x''(t)),\quad t\in (0,1),\cr x(0)=x(1)=x''(0)=x''(1)=\theta, }$$
in a Banach space. We present some spectral conditions, on the nonlinearity $f(t,u,v)$, to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of solutions. Our method is different from the one used in the references, even the above problem in a scalar space.
