Existence and nonexistence of positive solutions of a nonlinear third order boundary value problem

The authors consider a two-point third order boundary value problem, the motivation for which arises from the study of the beam equation. Sufficient conditions for the existence and nonexistence of positive solutions for the problems are obtained. An example is included to illustrate the results.
