Anti-periodic forced oscillations of damped beams on elastic bearings (Q558458)

The paper deals with the existence of weak anti-periodic solutions for some damped linear beam equations of the form \[ \begin{aligned} &u_{tt} + u_{xxxx} + \delta u_{t} + h_1(x,t)= 0,\\ &u_{xx}(0,\cdot) = u_{xx}(\pi/4,\cdot) = 0,\\ &u_{xxx}(0,\cdot) = - f(u(0,\cdot))- h_{2}(t),\\ &u_{xxx}(\pi/4,\cdot) = g(u(\pi/4,\cdot))+ h_{3}(t), \end{aligned} \] under various conditions upon the odd functions \(f\) and \(g.\) The approaches combines the Galerkin method with Leray-Schauder degree arguments. The results generalize earlier results of the second author.
