Abstract: In this paper we study the existence of positive solutions for a class of nonlocal fourth-order nonautonomous differential equations which can be seen as generalization of extended Fisher-Kolmogorov and Swift-Hohenberg equations. The main result is proved using bifurcation theory.


The paper deals with the 4th-order boundary value problem of the form \[ u^{(4)}(x)-p(x)u(x)-a(x)u(x)+u^{\rho}\int_0^1f(x,y)u^{\sigma}(y)dy=0,\quad x\in(0,1) \] associated with the boundary conditions \[ u(0)=u(1)=u(0)=u(1)=0, \] where \(p\), \(a\) are continuous functions \(\rho>1\), \(\sigma>0\) and \(f\in L^{\infty}([0,1]\times[0,1], \mathbb{R}^+)\). The authors provide sufficient conditions to show the existence of a positive solution, by using the linear operator \(L(u):=u^{(4)}(x)-p(x)u(x)\).
