Abstract. In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of homoclinic solutions for a class of nonautonomous fourth-order differential equations $u^{(4)}(x)+\omega u''(x)+a(x)u(x)=f(x,u(x)),$ $x\in\mathbb{R}.$ Using a symmetric mountain pass theorem established by Kajikiya, infinitely many homoclinic solutions of the system are obtained when the function $a$ is only steel bounded from below unnecessary coercive at infinity, and the potential $F(x,u)=\int^{u}_{0}f(x,v)dv$ is only locally defined near the origin with respect to $u$ . Our result extends some previously known results in the literature.
