Existence and iterative method for some fourth order nonlinear boundary value problems (Q1726501)

There is a known method for solving two-point boundary value problems, which allows to reduce the problem to two second-order problems and to define an operator \(A\) for the right-hand side function with solutions of the second-order problems. The authors offer a novel efficient method includes more clearly the definition of the operator \(A\). It describes an iterative process that generates a sequence of functions \(u_ {1, k}\) and \( u_ {2, k}\) converging to a unique solution to the problem. The convergence of the iterative method is proved by the use of the Banach contracting mapping principle. Also the authors give some numerical examples to illustrate the main result.
