The objective of this paper is to investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to fourth order differential equations v(4) (x) + f (x, v(x)) = 0, x∈[a,b],satisfying the three-point non-homogeneous conditions v(a) = 0, v′(a) = 0, v′′(a) = 0, v′(b) −α v′(ζ ) = μ,where 0 ≤ a < ζ < b, the constants α, μ are real numbers and f : [a, b] × R → R is a continuous function. The framework for establishing the existence results is based on sharper estimates on the integral of the kernel to connect with fixed point theorems of Banach and Rus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
