Infinitely many periodic solutions for fourth-order impulsive differential equation with oscillatory nonlinear term (Q2211956)

The authors consider the following boundary value problem for the fourth-order ODE with impulses at fixed times: \[ u^{(4)}(t) - u''(t) = f(t,u(t)), \quad t \in [0,T],\ t \neq t_1,\dots,t_m, \] \(-\triangle u'''(t_i) = I_{1i}(u(t_i))\), \(\triangle u''(t_i) = I_{2i}(u'(t_i)) i = 1,\dots,m\), \(u(0) = u(T)\), \(u'(0) = u'(T)\), \(u''(0) = u''(T)\), \(u'''(0) = u'''(T)\),where \(0 = t_0 < t_1 < \dots < t_m < t_{m+1} = T\), \(f : [0,T] \times \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) is continuous, \(I_{ji} :\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) are continuous for \(j=1,2\), \(i=1,\dots,m\), Using the variational methods the sufficient conditions for the existence of infinitely many nonnegative solutions of the BVP were found.
