%0 Journal Article %T An Existence and Uniqueness Result for a Bending Beam Equation without Growth Restriction %A Yongxiang Li %A He Yang %J Abstract and Applied Analysis %D 2010 %I Hindawi Publishing Corporation %R 10.1155/2010/694590 %X We discuss the solvability of the fourth-order boundary value problem (4)=(,,­å­å), 0¡Ü¡Ü1, (0)=(1)=­å­å(0)=­å­å(1)=0, which models a statically bending elastic beam whose two ends are simply supported, where ¡Ã[0,1]¡Á£¿2¡ú£¿ is continuous. Under a condition allowing that (,,) is superlinear in and , we obtain an existence and uniqueness result. Our discussion is based on the Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem. %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/aaa/2010/694590/
