Abstract:In this paper, by using the mixed monotone operator theory in cones, the fourth-order second-point nonhomogeneous boundary-value problem is investigated: x′′′′+f(t,x)=0,t∈,x=α,x′=β,x=λ,x′=-μ, where α〉0,β〉0,λ〉0,μ〉0, f(t,x)∈C([0,1]×[0,∞),[0,∞)) is continuous and monotonically increasing for x. There exists 0≤θ〈1 such that f(t,kx)≥kθf(t,x),t∈[0,1],k∈[0,1],x∈[0,∞). The existence and uniqueness of a positive solution and for the above problem is proved and the dependence of this solution on the parameters α,β,λ and μ is studied.
