A unique solution to a fourth-order three-point boundary value problem

Authors: VEDAT SUAT ERTÜRK

Abstract: In this study, it is aimed to examine the solutions of the following nonlocal boundary value problem \begin{equation*} y^{(4)}+g(x,y)=0,x\in [{c,d}], y(c)=y'(c)=y''(c)=0,y(d)=\lambda y(\xi). \end{equation*} Here, $\xi\in ({c,d}),\lambda \in \mathbb{R},g\in C([{c,d}]\times \mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})$ and $g(x,0)\neq 0.$ It is concentrated on applications of Green's function that corresponds to the above problem to derive existence and uniqueness results for the solutions. One example is also given to demonstrate the results.

Keywords: Nonlocal boundary value problems, Green's function, existence and uniqueness of solutions
