    Abstract:

In this paper, by combining a new maximum principle of fourth-order equations with the theory of eigenline problems, we develop a monotone method in the presence of lower and upper solutions for some fourth-order ordinary differential equation boundary value problem. Our results indicate there is a relation between the existence of solutions of nonlinear fourth-order equation and the first eigenline of linear fourth-order equation.
