Multiple positive solutions to a fourth-order boundary-value problem

We study the existence, localization and multiplicity of positive solutions for a nonlinear fourth-order two-point boundary value problem. The approach is based on critical point theorems in conical shells, Krasnoselskii's compression-expansion theorem, and unilateral Harnack type inequalit...
