For the eigenvalue problem \[ \Delta^{2m} u(t-m)= \lambda\sum^{m-1}_{i=0} p_i(t) \Delta^{2i} u(t),\;t\in[a+1,b+1], \] subject to \[ \Delta^{2i}u(a-m+1)=0 \quad\text{and}\quad \Delta^{2i} u(b+m+1- 2i)=0,\;i\in[0,m-1], \] with integers \(a,b,i,m\) and \((-1)^{m+i} p_i(t)>0\), the existence of a positive eigenvalue is proved which is less than the absolute value of any other eigenvalue. This eigenvalue lessens, if the functions \((-1)^{m+i} p_i(t)\) are enlarged. The proofs use both the cone theory in a Banach space, and sign properties of a Green function.
