In this paper, we propose extensions of Leray-Schauder boundary condition for a sum of two operators T + S in the case when T is an expansive operator and I − S is a completely continuous operator. As their applications, we investigate a class of fourth-order nonlinear boundary value problems with integral boundary conditions. We give conditions for the parameters of the considered boundary value problem that ensure existence of at least two non trivial bounded nonnegative classical solutions of the considered boundary value problem. The results in the paper are provided with a suitable example.
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.
