We investigate the following fourth-order four-point nonhomogeneous Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem ui-i i f t u t e 0 1 au 0 - fuf0 Ằ1 yu 1 ổu 1 Ằ2 au ị1 - bu f1 -X3 cu fị2 du fị2 -X4 where 0 ị1 ị2 1 and Xi i 1 2 3 4 are nonnegative parameters. Some sufficient conditions are given for the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution. The dependence of the solution on the parameters .h i 1 2 3 4 is also studied. 1. Introduction Boundary value problems BVPs for short consisting of fourth-order differential equation and four-point homogeneous boundary conditions have received much attention due to their striking applications. For example Chen et al. 1 studied the fourth-order nonlinear differential equation u 4 f t ù t e 0 1 with the four-point homogeneous boundary conditions u 0 u 1 0 au ịỉ - bu 1 0 cu ỗ2 du ỗ2 0 where 0 ị1 ị2 1. By means of the upper and lower solution method and Schauder fixed point theorem some criteria on the existence of positive solutions to the BVP - were 2 Boundary Value Problems established. Bai et al. 2 obtained the existence of solutions for the BVP - by using a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type. For other related results one can refer to 3-5 and the .
