S-Shaped Connected Component for Nonlinear Fourth-Order Problem of Elastic Beam Equation

We investigate the existence of S-shaped connected component in the set of positive solutions of the fourth-order boundary value problem: u′′′′x=λhxfux, x∈(0,1),u(0)=u(1)=u′′0=u′′1=0, where λ>0 is a parameter, h∈C[0,1], and f∈C[0,∞) with f0≔lims→0⁡(f(s)/s)=∞. We develop a bifurcation approach to...

description We investigate the existence of S-shaped connected component in the set of positive solutions of the fourth-order boundary value problem: u′′′′x=λhxfux, x∈(0,1),u(0)=u(1)=u′′0=u′′1=0, where λ>0 is a parameter, h∈C[0,1], and f∈C[0,∞) with f0≔lims→0⁡(f(s)/s)=∞. We develop a bifurcation approach to deal with this extreme situation by constructing a sequence of functions f[n] satisfying f[n]→f and (f[n])0→∞. By studying the auxiliary problems, we get a sequence of unbounded connected components C[n], and, then, we find an unbounded connected component C in the set of positive solutions of the fourth-order boundary value problem which satisfies 0,0∈C⊂lim⁡sup⁡C[n] and is S-shaped.
