On one two-point BVP for the fourth order linear ordinary differential equation

Abstract

AbstractIn this article we consider the two-point boundary value problem\left\{\begin{aligned} &\displaystyle u^{(4)}(t)=p(t)u(t)+h(t)\quad\text{for }% a\leq t\leq b,\\ &\displaystyle u^{(i)}(a)=c_{1i},\quad u^{(i)}(b)=c_{2i}\quad(i=0,1),\end{% aligned}\right.where {c_{1i},c_{2i}\in R}, {h,p\in L([a,b];R)}. Here we study the question of dimension of the space of nonzero solutions and oscillatory behaviors of nonzero solutions on the interval {[a,b]} for the corresponding homogeneous problem, and establish efficient sufficient conditions of solvability for the nonhomogeneous problem.
