Description
Summary:<p/> <p>We investigate the following fourth-order four-point nonhomogeneous Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem: <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-106962-i1.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-106962-i2.gif"/></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-106962-i3.gif"/></inline-formula>, where <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-106962-i4.gif"/></inline-formula> and <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-106962-i5.gif"/></inline-formula> are nonnegative parameters. Some sufficient conditions are given for the existence and uniqueness of a positive solution. The dependence of the solution on the parameters <inline-formula> <graphic file="1687-2770-2010-106962-i6.gif"/></inline-formula> is also studied.</p>
