Abstract:
In this paper, a special type of fourth-order differential equations with a perturbed nonlinear term and some boundary conditions is considered which is very important in mechanical engineering. Therefore, the existence of a non-trivial solution for such equations is very important. Our goal is to ensure at least three weak solutions for a class of perturbed fourth-order problems by applying certain conditions to the functions that are available in the differential equation (problem (??)). Our approach is based on variational methods and critical point theory. In fact, using a fundamental theorem that is attributed to Bonanno, we get some important results. Finally, for some results, an example is presented.
