Concavity of solutions of a \(2n\)-th order problem with symmetry (English)
0 references
In recent years, \textit{D. R. Anderson} and \textit{R. I. Avery} [J. Difference Equ. Appl. 8, No. 11, 1073--1083 (2002; Zbl 1013.47019)] have established some variants of the Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem. In this paper, one of these variants has been applied to study a two-point conjugate boundary value problem of the \(2n\)-th ordinary differential equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE (-1)^n x^{(2n)}(t) = f(x(t)), \qquad t\in [0,1].NEWLINE\]NEWLINE In order to obtain estimates for possible solutions, the main novelty of this paper is to extend the concept of concavity to functions satisfying \(2n\)-th order differential inequalities. A a result, some sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of the boundary value problem have been given.
