Multiple positive solutions of a nonlinear fourth order periodic boundary value problem

The fourth order periodic boundary value problem u ( 4 ) - m u + F ( t , u ) = 0 , 0 < t < 2π, with u ( i ) ( 0 ) = u ( i ) ( 2 π ) , i = 0,1,2,3, is studied by using the fixed point index of mappings in cones, where F is a nonnegative continuous function and 0 < m < 1. Under suitable conditions on F, it is proved that the problem has at least two positive solutions if m ∈ (0,M), where M is the smallest positive root of the equation tan mπ = -tanh mπ, which takes the value 0.7528094 with an error of ± 10 - 7 .
