Abstract: We study the existence of solutions for a periodic fourth order problem. We prove an associated uniform antimaximum principle and develop a method of upper and lower solutions in reversed order. Furthermore, by the quasilinearization method we construct an iterative sequence that converges quadratically to a solution.
