Let \(\lambda_1\) be the first eigenvalue of the problem \[ u''''=\lambda u,\quad 0< x< 1,\quad u(0)= u'(0)= u(1)= u'(1)= 0. \] The author studies the boundary value problem \[ u''''= f(x,u),\quad 0< x< 1,\quad u(0)= \alpha,\;u'(0)=\beta,\;u(1)=\gamma,\;-u'(1)= \delta,\tag{1} \] where \(\alpha,\beta,\gamma,\delta\geq 0\), \(f\in (\langle 0,1\rangle\times \mathbb{R}^1_+,\mathbb{R}^1_+)\) is continuous and the following conditions are given \[ \liminf_{u\to+\infty} \min_{x\in\langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}> \lambda_1,\;\limsup_{u\to 0+} \max_{x\in\langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u+\xi(x))\over u}< \lambda_1,\tag{2} \] \[ \limsup_{u\to+\infty} \max_{x\in\langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}< \lambda_1,\;\liminf_{u\to 0+} \min_{x\in\langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}> \lambda_1,\tag{3} \] \[ \sup_{u> 0} \min_{x\in \langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}= +\infty,\;\inf_{u\geq 2\|\xi\|} \max_{x\in \langle 0,1\rangle} {f(x,u)\over u}= 0.\tag{4} \] Here, the proofs of the following results are given: (A) If (3) is satisfied, then (1) has at least one positive solution. (B) Let (2) be satisfied. If \(\xi(x)\equiv 0\), \(x\in\langle 0,1\rangle\), then (1) has at least one positive solution. If \(\xi(x)\not\equiv 0\) \(x\in \langle 0,1\rangle\), then (1) has at least two positive solutions. (C) Let \(f(x,u)\) be increasing in \(u\). If (4) is satisfied, then (1) has at least one positive solution.
